Convection Bake

Convection baking and roasting can be used for roasting meats

and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a

single rack.

During Convection Bake, the bake and broil elements cycle on

and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the

fan constantly circulates the hot air.

Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control

knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be

reduced also.

To Convection Bake and Roast:

Before convection baking and roasting, position the racks

according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” or “Cooking

Chart” sections.

When convection roasting, use the drip tray under the oven rack.

It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting

in food, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

NOTE: At any time, set values can be changed by pressing the

Back button, turning the knob until the desired setting appears

on the display, then pressing the Confirmation button to select.

1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Convection Bake symbol.

2. Turn the Browse knob until desired temperature appears on

the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The Cook Time symbol will flash.

3. (Optional) If a cooking length is desired, turn the Browse knob

until desired cook time appears on the display then press the

Confirmation button to select.

The End of Cooking Time symbol and the end of cooking time

will appear on the display.

4. (Optional) To set a delayed start, turn the Browse knob until

the desired end of cooking time appears on the display then

press the Confirmation button to select.

The colon in the end of cooking time will flash. The oven will

automatically delay the start of cooking to finish cooking at

the set time.

See the “Delay Start” section for additional information.

5. Place food in oven when preheat signal sounds. The screen

will also prompt you when to insert food. If a Delay Start is

programmed, place food in oven when setting the mode.

NOTE: Do not use Delay Start for items that require a

preheated oven, such as cakes, cookies and breads. If food

is in the oven during preheat, it may become overcooked.

6. Turn the Oven Control knob to the “Off” symbol when finished

cooking.

Forced Air

Forced Air can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as

well as foods on multiple racks. This function can be used to

cook different foods without odors being transferred from one

food to another.

It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even

flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

During Forced Air, the convection ring element cycles on and off

in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan

constantly circulates the hot air.

Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control

knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be

reduced also.

Before using the Forced Air function, see the “Convection Bake”

section for general convection bake guidelines.

NOTE: At any time, set values can be changed by pressing the

Back button, turning the knob until the desired setting appears

on the display, then pressing the Confirmation button to select.

To Use:

Before using the Forced Air function, position the racks

according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Forced Air symbol.
