Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s
heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for even cooking and browning re-
sults. Heated air fl ows around the food from all sides.
Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature
between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Benefi ts of convection cooking include:
•
Multiple rack baking.
Convection baking tips
:
•
Use Convection Bake for best results when baking
cookies and cakes on 2 racks.
•
For best results it is recommended to preheat the
oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and
breads and move pans to front of the racks.
•
If your recipe is not written for convection baking,
reduce the oven temperature by 25° or use
Convection Convert option.
•
No special pans or bakeware required.
•
For cookies use the following racks:
•
Single rack baking use 3 (fl at rack).
•
Two rack baking use 1 (fl at) and 4 (glide).
•
For baking cakes use the following rack positions
and place bakeware as shown in Figure 4.
In upper rack use position 4 (glide) or 5 (fl at).
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated air
to circulate around the food. Food items baked on
pans with a dark fi nish will cook faster.
•
Leave oven lights off while baking.
Convection Convert
Convection Convert automatically reduces the oven
temperature from what is specifi ed in most baking rec-
ipes to compensate for the increased cooking effi
cien-
cy of convection baking.
