SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Convection CONVERsion

The Convect Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convect Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features Delay Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions). If convection conversion is used with the Bake Time and Delay Start features, “CF” (check food) will be displayed when 75% of the bake time complete. At this time the oven control will sound 3 long beeps at regular intervals until baking had finished. When the bake time has completely finished the control will display “End” and beep at regular interval until the CANCEL pad is pressed.

NOTE

To use this feature with the BAKE TIME option, the BAKE TIME pad must be pressed before the CONVECT CONVERT pad.

To set the oven for Convection Bake with a standard baking recipe temperature of 400°F:

1.Arrange interior oven racks.

2.Press CONVECT. “CONVECT” and “BAKE” will flash and “350” will appear in the display.

3.Press 4 0 0. “CONVECT” and “BAKE” will keep flashing and “400°” will appear in the display.

4.Press CONVECT CONVERT. As soon as the convect convert pad is pressed, the oven will start heating. The temperature displayed will be 25°F lower than what it used to be. The actual oven temperature and the fan icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches 375°F and the display will show “375°”, “CONVECT”, “BAKE” and the fan icon.

5.Place food in the oven.

NOTE

When using a Bake Time under 20 minutes, the Convect Convert will not beep and display the “CF” message.

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. The Convection Roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for Convection Roasting at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C) with a default temperature of 350°F.

Convection Roasting Tips:

•Use a broiler pan and grid, and a roasting rack (available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat.

•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. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside (available by mail order only).

•There is no need to reduce the convection temperature or to use the Convection Convert feature with this cooking mode.

•DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil (available by mail order).

•Always pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food.

•Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.

To set a Convection Roast Temperature of 375°F:

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; “CONVECT” and “ROAST” will flash.

4.Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number pads 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.

NOTE

Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.
