Setting Convection Bake
The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (See
Figure 22
). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time.
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with
the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s recom-
mended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the recipe’s
instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
•
Foods may cook up to 25% faster, saving time and energy.
•
Multiple rack baking.
For Best Results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the
food.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies, and muffins
•
Opening the oven door too often will allow heat to escape
and extend the time needed for proper baking.
•
When baking, allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
To set Convection Bake with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (177°C):
1.
Press Conv Bake.
2. Press
.
To cancel Convection Bake at any time, press
.
Note:
•
The convection fan will begin rotating 6 minutes after
Convection Bake, Convection Roast, or Convection Convert
has been activated.
•
If the oven door is opened when the convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
•
When using Convection Bake, cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
•
When baking using two oven racks, position the bakeware
as shown in
Figure 23
.
•
Layer cakes will have best results when using the Cakes/
Breads function.
