Safety

Convection Roast

■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

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.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills, and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters while heated air circulates under the meat to increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■Place the oven rack in the position that centers the food between the top and bottom of the oven.

Instructions Operating

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven.

If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F (204°C) can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

OR

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad once

(CONVECTION BAKE MULTI mode) for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See Multi-Rack Baking section for more information.

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/

1 RACK pad twice (CONVECTION BAKE

1 RACK/1 GRILLE mode) for one rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.

Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for convection roasting.

Touch the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Touch the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F (38°C), will be displayed. When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

■You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

■You may hear the oven clicking during baking. This is normal.

Troubleshooting Tips Consumer

NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than

the set temperature. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special Features section for more information. When convection roasting, oven temperature will not auto convert.
