The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or multiple racks.
Setting the Convection Function
(For example, cooking at 375 °F)
Press the Conv. Bake button. The display flashes 350 °F.
Set the oven temperature: Press plus(+) until 375 °F appears in the display.
Press START.
As the oven preheats, the display shows increasing temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light flashes on and off. The display shows the auto-converted oven temperature, 350 °F, CONV.
When cooking has finished or to cancel, press the CLEAR OFF button.
The oven fan runs while convection baking. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.
Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
Bake cookies and biscuits 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 finish will cook faster.
When using Convection Bake, place the oven racks in positions suggested in the charts in this manual.
Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.
Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.
