9 Temperature offset
Sets the temperature offset value for bake, convection bake, roast,
convection roast and convection multi-rack. When an offset value is
entered, the actual oven temperature is increased or decreased by this
value. This feature is useful if food is either too brown or too light.

Oven temperature offset
The oven is calibrated to provide accurate results. This
feature is useful if you prefer your foods lighter or darker.
¡ When an offset temperature is selected, the actual oven
temperature is raised or lowered by this value.
¡ Do not use residential oven thermometers to evaluate
oven temperatures as they will fluctuate throughout
cooking.
¡ You can set a temperature offset from the factory
baseline. Each time you call up the temperature offset
option in the basic settings menu, the factory baseline
temperature is restored so you can set a new offset
value.
Auto convection conversion
Convection bake and convection multi-rack modes require
a 25°F reduction in temperature. Auto convection
conversion reduces the temperature you enter
automatically.
¡ Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when
setting the mode. The control calculates the correct
temperature and it is shown in the display.
7.11 General tips for heating modes
How to use Bake mode
Use the Bake mode to prepare a variety of food items,
from pastries to casseroles.
Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature
and baking time.
Note
¡ Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cakes,
biscuits and breads.
¡ Use the convection bake function for best results when
baking cookies on multiple racks.
¡ Allow at least 2'' (5cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
¡ Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browned foods. It
may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook
time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
¡ Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
¡ Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
¡ For cakes stagger pans so that one is not directly above
the other.
How to use Conv Bake mode
Use the Conv Bake mode for bar cookies and breads.
This mode takes advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a
better crust on baked items.
The benefits of convection bake include a slight decrease
in cook time and a higher dough volume, for example
yeast items rise higher with this mode.
Note
¡ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F.
¡ Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie
sheets without sides.
¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1½'' (2.5 to 4cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Allow at least 2'' (5cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
¡ For cakes stagger pans so that one is not directly above
the other.
How to use Conv Multi-Rack mode
Use Conv Multi-Rack for cooking individual serving-sized
foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for
cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time.
The benefits of Conv Multi-Rack include even browning
and time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one
time.
Note
¡ Baking cookies is possible on 6racks simultaneously
(additional wire or telescopic racks can be purchased
separately). In this case, the baking time increases
slightly.
¡ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if auto convection
conversion is not activated.
¡ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheets without sides.
¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1½" (2.5 to 4cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
