Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
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, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and
convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan
circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and
convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan
will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven
door is closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard
thermal oven. Depending upon the selected cooking mode,
EasyConvect™ conversion can automatically reduce the standard
recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.
If you choose not to use the EasyConvect™ conversion, use the
following table as a guide.
Convection Mode Time/Temperature Guidelines
Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,
possible shortened cooking time
Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30%
Convection Broil Shortened cooking time
Convect Options
Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads,
casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts,
beef roasts
Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish, or poultry
Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating
the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should
be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and
second rise.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on
rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C),
"Oven Cooling" will be displayed until the temperature is less than
120°F (49°C).
1. Press PROOF.
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time
may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press CANCEL UPPER when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking
pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and
control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C),
the display will indicate "Oven Cooling" until the temperature
is below 120°F (49°C).
