Use the Convection Bake feature when fast cooking is desired. The oven can be
programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F and 550°F.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within
the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results at a lower temperature than conventional bake. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake. For
baking efficiency, the fan rotates slower in Convection Bake than in Convection Roast.

This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. All baking
modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven. However, the Convection Roast
mode is recommended to produce meats that are deliciously seared on the outside and
succulently juicy on the inside in less time. The oven can be programmed to convection
roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F. Remember to use tested recipes with
times adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. Times may be
reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature. For roasting efficiency,
the fan rotates faster in Convection Roast than in Convection Bake. When preparing
meats for convection roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with a roasting rack.
