OPERATION OF RANGE

(continued)

CONVECTION MODE

Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the

oven cavity itself. The convection fan in the rear of the oven then circulates the

hot air, providing even heat distribution throughout the oven. Convection cooking

generally provides a more even temperature with faster baking times than the

standard oven baking setting. This mode is controlled by a switch on the right hand

sideofthecontrolpanel.Simplyicktheswitchintoactivateit.

• Position the oven’s bottom cover and the oven shelf/shelves before using the

oven. Use more than one oven shelf for larger baking loads. Remove any unused

shelves and baking utensils from the oven.

• Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe before baking. Depending

on the temperature needed and the size of the oven, preheating will take 15 - 20

minutes.

• Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch

each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the

item on the oven shelf, preferably in the center of the oven. If baking on multiple

shelves, make sure to stagger items on the shelves so that one is never directly

above another.

NOTES ABOUT CONVECTION COOKING

Convection cooking generally provides a more even temperature with faster

baking times than the standard oven baking setting. When baking in Convection

Mode, either reduce the temperature stated in the recipe and leave the baking

time unchanged, or reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave the

temperature unchanged. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing

both the temperature and the time slightly may give the best results.
