Auto Convection Conversion

(some models)

Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes

require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection

Conversion reduces the temperature you enter

automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe

temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates

the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.

The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on

to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See "Auto

Convection Conversion" in the "Settings" section for details.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

Heat comes from the upper and lower

heating elements. The main

difference in convection baking is that

the heat is circulated throughout the

oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar

cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat,

yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

•

Slight decrease in cook time.

•

Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

•

Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as a

cookie sheet without sides.

•

If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"

to 1 1/2" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so

that one is not directly above the other (see graphic

below).

•

For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.

Convection Multi-Rack

(some models)

Convection Multi-Rack mode cooks

with heat from a third element behind

the back wall of the oven. The heat is

circulated throughout the oven by the

convection fan.

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking

individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits.

It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the

same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks

simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases

slightly.

The benefits of Multi-Rack include:

•

Even browning.

•

Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one

time.

Tips

•

Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection

Conversion is not activated.

•

Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as

cookie sheet without sides.

•

If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"

to 1 1/2" of air space around the pan.

Pizza

(some models)

In the Pizza mode, heat from the

upper and lower elements is

circulated throughout the oven by the

convection fan.

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

•

There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check

before minimum package time.

•

When baking a frozen pizza:

For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.

For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.

•

When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil

and place it in a bowl tightly covered with plastic wrap

to prevent crust formation.

•

Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.

•

If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally

with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the

pan.

•

If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough

with a fork before baking.
