Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be
programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 325° F (163°C)
to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even
cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with
Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times
for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as
shown aside. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or
very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked
on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in
position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2 and 3.
