Setting Oven ControlsFEATURE OVERVIEWConvection Bake (Gas Range)Setting Convection BakeConvection BakeBenefits of Convection Bake:--Some foods cook up to 30% fastersaving time and energy.--Multiple rack baking.--No special pans or bakeware neededThe CONV BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use theConvection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can beprogrammed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F(149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly andcontinuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distributionallows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better bakingresults when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brownmore evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and moreevenly with Convection Bake.General Convection Bake InstructionsFigure 1AircirculationduringConvectionBakeL";tr;°:Figure 21. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 31. Adjust the cook time fordesired doneness as needed. 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 aroundthe food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.3.
