USING THE OVEN
DUAL CONVECTION BAKE
Dual Convection baking uses two fans to circulate the
oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and
excellent results using multiple racks at the time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster
and more evenly with Dual Convection Bake. Multiple
oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for
some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Dual Convection Bake:
• Dual convection bake works faster than one convection
bake, so cooktime should be reduced.
• Foods with Dual Convection Bake cook more evenly
compared to non convection.
• Multiple rack baking.
• No special pans or bakeware needed.
The CONV. BAKE button controls the Dual Convection
Bake feature. Use the Dual Convection Bake feature when
cooking speed is desired. The oven can be programmed
for Dual Convection Bake at any temperature between
300°F (150°C) to 550°F (285°C).
Setting the CONVECTION BAKE function
(example, 375°F):
1. Touch CONV. BAKE. The display will flash 350 deg F.
2. Set the oven temperature (Touch 3, 7 and 5).
3. Touch START. The display will show CONV BAKE and
the converted temperature starting at 100°F. As the
oven preheats, the display will show the temperature
increasing in 5 degree increments. Once the oven
reaches the desired adjusted temperature, a tone
will sound and the oven light will flash on and off.
The display will show the auto converted oven
temperature 350 deg F, CONV BAKE and the fan
icon.
Touch CLEAR/OFF to cancel Convection Bake at any time.
Tips for Convection Bake
• 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.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position D. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions B and D (for 2 racks).
Place in positions B, D, and F (for 3 racks).
• Cakes have better results when baked using the BAKE
function. (you can still use multiple racks when baking
multiple cake layers at the same time).
• Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads tend
to have very good results when using multiple racks.
NOTE
• The convection fan stops during a convection bake
cycle to allow for more even heating. This is normal.
• During oven operation, it is possible that the oven
cooling fan will operate to cool the control panel.
This is normal operation.
• The oven fan will run while convection baking. The
fan will stop when the door is open, but the heat
will not turn off. In some cases, the fan may shut off
during a convection bake cycle.
• It is normal for the air from the cooling fan to be
hot during oven use, and will remain warm until
the oven is cooled.
To use 3-rack position mode
Bake with three racks using the CONV BAKE function.
1. Touch CONV.BAKE twice, and "3 rack" will appear in
the display.
2. Set the oven temperature.
3. Touch START.
