Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect _TM
system. Convection bake uses a fan to circulate
the oven heat evenly and continuously. The
improved 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):

• 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.

allow 2-4" (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation.
