You probably shouldn't have to make that adjustment manually.

Most convection ovens -- all GEs, for example -- automatically reduce
the temperature setting by 25 deg F when convection is selected. If I
set mine at 350 with convection, the oven maintains 325, not 350, by
both the digital temperature display and by my oven thermometer, for the
entire cooking period.
