CONVECTION BAKE

Convection Bake uses two fans to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

The Conv Bake feature should ONLY be used when your recipe instructions have been written for use with convection baking.

If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and you wish to use convection bake, follow the Convection Convert option instructions. The convection convert option will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking may provide the best possible results.

Conv Bake may be set with the following options:

•Conv Convert

•Cook Time and/or Delay Start

The following temperature settings apply to the conv bake feature:

•Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F / 177°C

•Min. bake setting : 170°F / 76°C

•Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C

See the example below to set conv bake, starting immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting of 350°F (177°C):

1.Press CONV BAKE

2.Press START

After the oven reaches set temperature, a beep will indicate the oven is ready. The oven will continue to maintain this temperature until the cooking feature is canceled.

NOTE

Benefits of convection bake:

•Superior multiple oven rack performance.

•Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

•No special pans or bakeware required.

For best results

•When baking with a single rack use rack positions 2 or 3. When using 2 racks use rack positions 2 & 4. When using 3 racks use rack positions 1, 3 (offset rack) & 4.

•Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the food.

•Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

•When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4” (5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper air circulation.
