Convection Bake Mode

During Convection Bake, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. The convection cooking temperature ranges from 100 ℉ (38 ℃) to 450 ℉ (232 ℃). It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.

Note
  • Reduce oven temperature by 25 ℉ from the temperature recommended on packaged foods. The baking time may vary according to the food condition or individual preference.

Setting the Convection Bake Function

  • Touch Convection Bake in the cooking mode screen.

  • Set the temperature. Scroll through the numbers on the display, or touch the number pad icon to enter the numbers directly.

  • If desired, set the cook time.

  • Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat.

  • If the cook time is set, the remaining time appears in the display.

  • A chime sounds once preheating is complete.

  • A chime sounds at the end of the set cook time and a notification appears in the display. Open the oven door and remove the food.

Changing the Convection Bake Settings

  • Touch Edit in the display to bring up the Cook Settings screen.

  • Adjust the settings.

  • Touch Start.

To Stop Cooking

Touch Stop in the display and select Yes.

Note
  • When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature, a melody will sound. The oven automatically holds that temperature for 30 minutes.

  • The oven temperature drops very quickly when the door is opened; however, this should not prevent food from being fully cooked during normal cooking time.
