Convection baking
Tips for convection baking
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food
you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using
a pan with a dark finish will produce faster cooking times.
When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3
or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will
produce better results.

By using Convection Bake, you will be
able to cook faster. Convection baking
uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

evenly and continuously within the oven.

for even cooking and excellent results

when you are using multiple racks at the

same time. Foods cooked on a single oven
rack will generally cook faster and more
evenly with convection baking. Multiple
oven rack cooking may have slightly
increased cooking times for some foods,
but the overall result is time saved. Breads
and pastries brown more evenly. You can
program the oven for convection baking
at any temperature between 175 °F and
550 °F.
How to set the oven for convection baking
Touch
Bake. No Preheat key is activated on the control panel. Touch No
1.
Preheat if you want to use the No Preheat feature. (Refer to the No Preheat

Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad.
3.
Touch Cook Time, and then use the number pad to set the cooking time.
4.
Touch START/SET.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature
reaches 175 °F.
The oven will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven

•
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
•
DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using
convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection
heating element.
NOTE
•
If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on,
all heating elements will shut off automatically.
•
When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the
oven has cooled down.
For performance reasons, the convection fan may turn on or off during
•
baking.
•
If you are using an oven thermometer in the oven cavity, the temperature
registered by the thermometer may differ from the actual set oven
temperature.
