About convection bake
Setting convection bake
Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect
3TM
system• Convection bake uses a fan to circulate
the oven heat evenly and continuously.
The
_mproved heat distribution
allows for even cooking
with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may
slightly increase cook times for some foods, but
the overall result is time saved•
The conv bake feature should ONLY be used when
your recipe instructions
have been written for use
with convection baking.
The following temperature settings apply to the
conv bake feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/176°C
• Min• bake setting : 170°F/76°C
° Max. bake setting: 550°F/288°0
See the example below to set conv bake, starting
immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting
of 350°F (176°C):
If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and
you wish to use convection bake, follow the
Convection
Convert option instructions. The
convection convert option will automatically
adjust
the oven temperature
so that convection baking
may provide the best possible results•
Conv bake may be set with the following options:
* Cony convert
* Cook time or cook time with end time
* Rapid preheat

positions 2 or 3. When using 2 racks use rack
positions 2 & 5. When using 3 racks use rack

Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated air
to circulate around the food.
• Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook
faster•
• When placing multiple food items in the oven
allow 2-4" (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation.
