is distributed evenly
throughout the oven
for thorough, fast
cooking of food.
Convection Bake Cooking or Warming
During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the
oven. Any oven temperature from 170°F to 425°F may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this
heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich
moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around
the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
