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 convect convert 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.

Setting Convection Roast
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, park 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 burner, the hidden convection 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 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 288°C) with a default temperature of 350°F.
Convection Roasting Tips:
•Use a broiler pan and grid, and a roasting rack (avail- able by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roast- ing rack will hold the meat.
•Place an oven rack on rack position 1.
•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 Convect 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 along “CONVECT” and “ROAST”. After 6 minutes, the fan icon will appear in the display.
NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.
NOTE
The convection fan will start 6 minutes after the oven is set for Convection. The display will show an icon of rotating fan within a square. This rotating fan icon indicates when the Convection Fan is operating.
