Setting Convection
Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE _
pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can
be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F (149 °
C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).
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. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more
evenly with Convection Bake.
General
Convection
Bake Instructions
1.
When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as
shown on page 36. 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
2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and
3 (for 2 racks; See Figure 2).
4.
Cakes have better results when baked with the Cake pad in the Food
Categories featu re.
