Convection roasting
Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
How to set the oven for convection roasting
1. Start the convection roasting mode.
Press the CONV. ROAST pad. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, by using the number pads. Be sure to enter the temperature called for in the recipe. The oven will automatically adjust the temperature for convection roasting.
3. Press the SET/START pad to begin convection roasting.
Conv. Roast and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375 °F, will appear in the display for 2 seconds.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 150 °F.
A beep will sound 6 times when the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375 °F, is reached and the display will show the auto- converted oven temperature.
4. Turn off or cancel convection roasting by pressing the CLEAR/ OFF pad.
In the convection roasting mode, the oven will automatically reduce the set regular baking temperature by 25 °F to the appropriate conversion temperature.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
When you use the convection roasting feature, it is important that you use the broil pan and insert. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
