By using the Convection Bake, you will be
able to cook faster. 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 while 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 have
slightly increased cooking times for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
You can program the oven for convection
baking at any temperature between 175 °F
and 550 °F.
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 produce 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 3
and
5
.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will
produce better results.

When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the
oven has cooled down.
NOTE

For performance reasons, the convection fan may turn on or off during
baking.

If you are using an oven thermometer in the oven cavity, the temperature
registered by the thermometer may differ from the actual set oven
temperature.
