CONVECTION BAKE
Convection baking allows for even cooking and excellent
results when using multiple racks at the same time. It could
also shorten cooking time.
Benefits of CONVECTION BAKE
1
) Even bake results using multiple racks.
2
) Faster cooking time.
Setting the CONVECTION BAKE function
(example, 375°F):
1
Touch the
CONV. BAKE
key. The display will flash
350°F.
2
Set the oven temperature using the number keys: Touch
3,
7
and
5
.
3
Touch the
START
key. The display will show
CONV.
BAKE
and the oven temperature starting at 100°F.
As the oven preheats, the display will show increasing
temperatures in 5 degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone will sound and
the oven light will flash on and off. The display will show the
auto converted oven temperature
350°F, CONV. BAKE
and
the fan icon.

When cooking has finished or to cancel, touch the
CLEAR
OFF
key.
NOTE
When cooking using the convection cycle, the oven
temperature is automatically reduced by 25°F. The display
will show the changed temperature.
This feature is called ”AUTO CONVERSION”.
Your range comes with this feature “ENABLED”.
To DISABLE the auto conversion feature, see “How to set
convection auto conversion function” in Operating
Instructions section.
NOTE
You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan
will stop when the door is open, but the heat will not turn
off. The fan will not start until the preheat temperature is
reached.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
C
heck to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in
the oven before using your convection oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure
the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.
1
) Paper and Plastic
Y
ou can use heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular ovens in convection
ovens.
2
) Metal and Glass
A
ny type of cookware will work in your convection oven.
However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
•
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than
shiny pans.
•
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
W
hen baking cookies, use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan
with low sides to get the best results
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides.
Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high
sides.
NOTE
y
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark fin-
ish will cook faster.
y
Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally
cook faster and more evenly with convection bake.
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.
y
When cooking foods on multiple racks use the con-
vection mode.
y
The convection fan stops during convection bake
cycle to allow for more even heating. This is normal.
y
Use the recommended size pan in recipe.
y
Some frozen foods have been developed to use
commercial convection ovens. For best results in
this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature
recommended in the recipe.
y
If a food manufacturer gives specific convection bak-
ing package instructions, program the AUTO CON-
VERSION temperature so that the preheated oven
temperature reads the same as the temperature on
the package instructions.
