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.
