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 position 3 and 5.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.
How to set the oven for convection baking
1.
Press
Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2.
Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad.
3.
Press START/SET.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature
reaches 175 °F.
The range will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven
temperature.
4.
To turn off or cancel convection baking, press OFF.
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 be turned on or off during
•
the operation.
Convection roasting
Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as
if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist
and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
