Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the 
oven’s heat uniformly and continuously around the 
oven (Figure 18). This improved heat distribution 
allows for fast, even baking and browning results. 
It also gives better baking results when using two 
oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows 
around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and 
flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most 
foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and 
more evenly with the convection feature. Multiple 
rack baking may slightly increase bake time for 
some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
•  Superior multiple oven rack performance.
•  Foods bake more evenly.
•  Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
IMPORTANT
When using convection bake, decrease your 
normal cooking times. Adjust the cook time for 
desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will 
vary depending on the amount and type of food 
to be cooked.
CAUTION
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to 
run after the door is opened. This is normal. Use 
caution when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air 
will be pushed out of the appliance.

To set convection bake:
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using 
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven 
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which 
can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom. 
To avoid damaging the oven interior and 
surfaces, always bake foods in the oven using 
bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1.  Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2.  Allow oven to preheat the oven for 8-to-10 
minutes before baking. Preheating is not 
necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles, or 
broiling most foods. 
3.  Turn the oven mode knob to the conv bake 
position (Figure 19).

4.  Turn the oven temp knob to the desired 
temperature position (Figure 20).
