OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONVECTION ROAST:
If you prefer, you can roast meats more quickly using the Convection Roast mode. Keep in mind that conventional bake is best for less tender meats requiring a longer, moist heat method of cooking and for any meat cooked in a browning bag or covered roasting pans.
■Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and temperatures or see FSIS on page 9.
CONV.
ROAST
■Preheating is not necessary.
■For best results use with the food probe.
■Place the roast fat side up to allow for self basting during the roasting.
■Since meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven, remove the roast when it reaches a temperature of 5° to 10° less than the desired temperature and cover for 15 to 20 minutes. It will also slice nicer after the waiting time.
■For poultry, be sure the meat is thawed completely prior to cooking. Due to the structure of poultry, partially thawed or frozen poultry will cook unevenly.
USING THE CONVECTION ROAST MODE:
Convection Roast uses the broil and convection heating elements.
1.Press Conv. Roast. Press the number keys to set a convection roast temperature from 100°F to 550°F.
2.Conv. Roast, Preheat and On will be displayed. The actual temperature in the oven will be displayed until it reaches the set temperature. When it reaches the set temperature, it will chime once and the words On and Preheat disappear. The oven is now ready to cook. The word On will be displayed whenever the oven requires more heat to stay at the set temperature.
NOTE:
When cooking if the oven door is open the oven will not heat. The word ON may appear in the display, but this only indicates the oven is below temperature, and will resume normal operation when the door is closed.
Setting less than 200°F – If the oven is set to an operating temperature less than 200°F, during preheat the hidden bake element, hidden convection element, broil element, and the convection motor will operate. After preheat, only the hidden convection element, hidden bake element, and convection motor are used.
Setting more than 200°F – If the oven is set to an operating temperature of 200°F or more, then after preheat, the hidden convection element, broil element, and the convection motor will operate . The oven cooling blower(s) may turn off and on automatically when in convection roast. The fan will stay on after Cancel is pressed, until the unit has cooled.
NOTE:
Please refer to the TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES FROM FSIS on page 9 when roasting meat.
