Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This 

improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. 

Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple 

oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads 

and pastries brown more evenly.

  Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving 

cooking time.

  Multiple rack baking.

  No special pans or bakeware needed.

The CONV. BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake 

feature. Use the Convection Bake feature when 

cooking speed is desired. The oven can be 

programmed for Convection Bake at any temperature 

between 300°F (150°C) to 550°F (285°C).

  Touch CONV. BAKE. The display 

will flash 350 deg F.

  Set the oven temperature  

(Touch 3, 7 and 5).

  Touch START. The display will show 

CONV BAKE and the converted 

temperature starting at 100°F. As the 

oven preheats, the display will show 

increasing temperatures 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 LOWER 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 C. If cooking on multiple 

racks, place the oven racks in positions B and D (for 

2 racks). 

•  Cakes have better results when baked using the 

BAKE function. You can still (you can still use 

multiple racks when baking multiple cake layers at 

the same time).

•  Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads 

give very good results when using multiple racks.

•  The convection fan stops during a convection bake 

cycle to allow for more even heating. This is normal.
