Standard cooking modes (bake, broil, etc.) use heat
Convection modes use both heat from the elements
and a fan in the back of the oven to continuously
circulate the heated air throughout the oven.
The result is faster, more even cooking. Convection

at lower temperatures and in less time (never reduce
temperature when cooking meat).
