Convection; Convection Bake - KitchenAid KEMS309 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Convection

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air distributes heat
more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard
thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, while sealing in moisture.
Most foods, using convect baking mode, can be cooked by
lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). The cooking time,
can be shortened by as much as 30 percent when using Convect
Roast, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so
that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air,
allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

Convection Bake

A
B
A. Convection fan
B. Convection element (hidden)
The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.
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, broil element and the
CleanBake™ element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain
oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
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
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.
To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When using 2 racks,
place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides
1, 3 and 5.
1. Touch CONVECT BAKE.
2. Touch the number keys to choose whether or not to convert
the recipe.
3. If "1: Yes" has been selected, you will see screen with "easy
convect bake." Then touch the number keys to enter a
temperature. The convection bake range can be set between
170°F and 550°F (77°C and 288°C).
The oven temperature will automatically be reduced by 25°F
(14°C) for EasyConvect™ bake, and the adjusted
temperature will show on the display, but the cook time will
not be adjusted.
Then touch the number keys to enter a cook time.
NOTE: If a temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 194°F
(90°C) is entered, the display will show only 170°F (77°C) and
not the reduced temperature.
4. If "2: No" has been selected, Convect Bake will continue
without conversion. Touch the "1" number keypad to use
Rapid Preheat or "2" to continue without Rapid Preheat. Then
touch the number keys to enter a temperature.
NOTE: Rapid Preheat Convect Bake should only be used for
1-rack baking.
5. Touch START.
"Lo°" will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 100°F (38°C), and "Preheating" will
appear in the lower area of the display.
When the actual oven temperature reaches 100°F (38°C), the
oven display will show the oven temperature increasing.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 chime will
sound.
6. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.
