As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for
convection baking. 

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.

Check foods for doneness at the minimum 
suggested cooking time.

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press CONVECTION BAKE.

2. Press the number pads to set the

temperature.

3. Press START. When the oven starts to

heat the changing temperature will be in
the display. (The display starts changing
once the temperature reaches 100°F.)

4. Press CLEAR/OFF when baking is

finished.

NOTE:
• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with

this feature. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.

• A cooling fan may turn on and off to cool internal

parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to
run even after the oven is turned off.

To change the oven temperature during the
Convection Bake cycle, press CONVECTION
BAKE and set the new temperature.

CONVECTION

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on
two, three or more shelves at a time. Multi-shelf
baking may increase cook times slightly for some
foods but the overall result is time saved. Multi-shelf
baking provides very good results with cookies,
biscuits and other quickbreads.

When baking on
three shelves, place
one shelf in the bottom
(A) position, one on 
the third (C) position
and one in the fifth 
(E) position.

NOTE: When convection baking with only one 
shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in
Oven Shelves in the Baking section.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to burn your hand on
the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).
