Convection Bake at any time.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with
Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements and a fan turn off immediately when the door is opened. They will turn on again in approximately 5 seconds after the door is closed. If you leave the oven door open for more than 30 minutes, all settings are canceled.

Tips for Convection Bake
• Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position B and D.
• Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results when using multiple racks.
