Setting Convection Bake
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for even cooking and browning results.
Multiple racks cooking may slightly increase cook times for
some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
The Conv Bake feature should ONLY be used when your
recipe instructions have been written for use with convection
baking.
If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and
you wish to use convection bake, follow the Convection
Convert option instructions. The convection convert option
will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that
convection baking may provide the best possible result.
Conv Bake may be set with the following option:
• Conv Convert
• Cook Time and / or Delay Start
Benets of Convection Bake
• Multiple rack baking.
• No special pans or bakeware needed.
For best results
• 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 nish
will cook faster.
• Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with
Convection Bake.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.

2. Press Conv Bake. If default temperature (350°F) is needed,
press Start.
3. Press 3, 7, 5.
4. Press Start.
The actual oven temperature will be displayed. “CONV BAKE”
will stop ashing and the fan icon will appear in the display.
Press Stop to stop Convection Bake or cancel Convection Bake
at any time.
Note
The convection fan will start AS SOON AS the oven is set for
Convection Bake. The display will show an icon of rotating
fan within a square. This rotating fan icon indicates when the
Convection Fan is operating. The Bake, Broil and Convection
elements will cycle for a better heat distribution.
