convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly around the oven . This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and
browning results . Heated air flows around the food
from all sides .
Convection bake may be set for any oven
temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F
(288°C) .
Benefits of convection cooking include:
•
Multiple rack baking .

the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads and move pans to front of
the racks .
