Convection Mode Operation

To Set the Convection mode:

2.Select CONVECTION.

The temperature is automatically set at 325°F. Message scrolls in display:

Select Convection temperature

then touch START

3.To change the temperature:

To change the temperature from 325ºF, select another temperature immediately before starting.

4.Select START.

The temperature display alternates between the set temperature and the actual temperature, beginning with 100°F.

The oven beeps once when the oven is preheated. PREHEAT no longer appears the display.

5.To end this mode, select OVEN OFF.

Set Timer 1 or 2 as a reminder to check doneness of the food at minimum time.

Multiple-rack cooking and baking can be done in this mode. For example, cookies can be baked on all six racks.

Use low-sided, uncovered pans, such as a jelly roll pan or cookie sheets with 1 or 2 sides.

Shiny aluminum pans are best, unless otherwise specified.

Dark finish metal pans and heatproof glass or ceramic bakeware may require oven temperature to be reduced or the time shortened.

Foods cooking in less than 15 minutes require the same time as in bake mode.

Cookies may take a few minutes longer when multi-rack convection baking. Place baking sheets directly under each other on the oven racks to enable optimum heat circulation.

Foods taking 30 minutes or more to cook will have a 10 to 15 percent time savings.

For foods taking 30 minutes or more to cook, check doneness 3 to 7 minutes sooner than the minimum time.

Items such as angel food cake, popovers and soufflés will have higher volume when baked in this mode.

Convection mode tips:

Preheat when using the convection mode.

For a quick recipe conversion, reduce the oven temperature 25° from the bake setting.
