Convection Bake
A convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.
A. Convection element (hidden) and fan
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to
stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If
the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection element, broil
element, and the CleanBake™ element all heat the oven cavity.
After preheat, the convection element, the CleanBake™ element,
and the fan will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven
temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan
turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on
immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil
(only during preheating) elements will turn off approximately
30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again
approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
