Conv Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature
—Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
—Multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Most foods will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convection baking:
•Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
•For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in position 7).
Example — To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

Important notes:
•The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.
•If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
•When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
•Layer cakes will have better results using the Cake function.
•Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
