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 gen-

erally provides a more even temperature with faster baking times than the standard

oven baking setting. This mode is controlled by a button on the right hand side of

the control panel. Simply push the button in to activate it.

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

shelves and baking utensils from the oven.

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

20 minutes.

touch each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always cen-

ter 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 un-

changed, 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 tem-

perature and the time slightly may give the best results.
