Convect Bake
(on some models)
Convect Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single or
multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow
a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time
may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the
bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the
convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain
oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or
preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off
immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
