speed is desired. The oven can be programmed for
Convection Bake at any temperature between 300°F (150°C)
to 550°F (285°C).
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 excellent results
using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a
single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly

slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall
result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
