The Convection Roast and Convection Bake modes in the LG 6.3 Cu. Ft. Self-Cleaning Slide-In Gas Range with ProBake Convection® and EasyClean® - Stainless Steel, Model # LSG4513ST have a minimum temperature of 300 °F / 150 °C. But a convection oven will do the job just as well as the food dehydrator since it has a fan and convection cycle to speed up the dehydration process. Both a dehydrator and convection oven dry most foods in precisely the same way. The key to proper hydration is getting the oven temperature just right. If it’s too hot, your foods will scorch and burn. Alternatively, if it’s too low, you won’t get the desired results as well. Your oven temperature should be under 200°F for adequate results. A Convection oven with a Dehydrate mode will dry foods at 175°F. Since this oven does not have a Dehydrate mode, you can select Convection Bake at 175°F...^IFV
