OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Roast
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake element, convection element, broil element, and fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for convection roasting at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.
To set a convection roast temperature of 375°F:
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, close oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
1.Arrange oven racks and place food in the oven.
2.Press convect; 350 will be displayed; Convect and bake will flash.
3.Press convect again. 350 will be displayed, and convect and roast will flash.
4.Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number keys, i.e.: 3 7 5.
5.Press start; The actual oven temperature will be displayed. Convect, roast, and the fan icon will be displayed. The bake, broil, and convection elements will also cycle for a better heat distribution.
Convection roasting tips:
•Use a broiler pan and insert, as well as a roasting rack (available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat.
•It’s not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.
•Place an oven rack on rack position 1 (offset rack).
•No preheat is needed in convection roast.
•Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.
•Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
NOTE
Some models have a dual convection fan, which could reduce overall cooking times.
