Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)
Setting Convection Bake
Use the Convection Bake feature when faster cooking is desired. The oven can
be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F and
550°F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results at a lower temperature than
conventional bake. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks
at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake
cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake. For baking
efficiency, the fan rotates slower in Convection Bake than in Convection Roast.
general Convection Bake Instructions
1. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will
vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. 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
finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection
Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position
8. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 12
(see page 13).
To set the oven to Convection Bake at 350°F
1. Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.
2. Turn the selector control knob to Conv Bake (Figure 2). The convection fan
will start.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to 350 (Figure 3).
The temperature will appear briefly in the oven control display. The display
will beep indicating that the temperature is set. Then the temperature will
disappear from the display.
4. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control
knobs to Off position.
Setting Convection roast
This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting.
Allow your oven to preheat before roasting. A beep will let you know when
the convection roast temperature is reached. The oven can be programmed
to convection roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F. Remember to
use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when using the
convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the
convection feature. For roasting efficiency, the fan rotates faster in Convection
Roast than in Convection Bake.
To Set the oven to Convection roast at 350°F
1. Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.
2. Turn the selector control knob to Conv Roast (Figure 4). The convection fan will start.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to 350 (Figure 5). The temperature will appear briefly in the oven control display.
The display will beep indicating that the temperature is set. Then the temperature will disappear from the display.
4. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position.
Setting Convection Convert
The appliance is equipped with a feature which will allow you to change from a normal baking recipe temperature
to a convection baking temperature without making any manual temperature adjustment; the oven control will do it
automatically. The
pad controls the convection convert feature.
To change from a normal bake recipe to a convection bake recipe
When the convection bake mode is on, press
control setting. When convection baking is completed turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position.
note: The oven temperature indicator will show a temperature 25°F lower than temperature control knob setting.
. This function will lower the oven temperature by 25

Benefits of Convection Bake:
—Some foods cook up to 30%
faster, saving time and energy.
—Improve multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or bakeware
needed.
