Convection baking (NE59K3321** only)
By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program
the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.
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 baking.
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.
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 allow 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 2 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 using the or pad, eg. 375.
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/CLEAR .
• 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
For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.
