Setting Convection Roast
This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. This oven is equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking and better tasting meats when roasting. It will use a faster fan speed for roasting which will quickly strip the cold air away from the meats replacing it with warm air (making a crisp outside - type of searing) sealing in juices for better tasting meats.
Conv Bake may be set with the following option:
• Cook Time and / or Delay Start
The following temperature settings apply to the conv bake feature:
•
•Min. bake setting: 170°F / 77°C.
•Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C.
Benefits of Convection Bake
•Multiple rack baking.
•No special pans or bakeware needed.
For best results
•Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
•Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations.
•Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.
•Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
To set the Convection Roast
See example below to set conv roast to start immediately at 375°.
1.Arrange oven racks.
2.Press Conv Roast.
3.Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number pads 3, 7, 5.
4.Press Start.
To change the Convection Roast temperature (example: changing from 375°F to 425°F)
1.Press Conv Roast.
2.Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number pads 4, 2, 5.
3.Press Start.
After the oven has reached the desired temperature, the control will beep and CONV ROAST light will stay on. Note: The Bake, Broil and Convection elements will cycle for a better heat distribution.
When convection roasting is complete press Stop.
Setting Convection Convert
The Conv 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. Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Conv Bake, Timed Conv Bake or a Delay Start (Delayed Timed Conv Bake) setting. When used with a Timed Bake or a Delay Start (Delayed Timed Bake) setting, the Convection Convert will display a “CF” for check food when the bake time is 75% 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 will sound 3 long beeps every 30 seconds until the Stop pad is pressed.
To change from a normal bake recipe to a convection bake recipe (example: changing a 400°F normal bake recipe to a convection bake recipe)
When the conv bake mode is on at 400°F, press Conv Convert. “CONV BAKE” and the oven temperature adjustment will appear briefly in the display (for this example it is 375°F). A beep will sound once the adjusted oven temperature is reached. The display will show “375°”, “CONV BAKE” and the fan icon.
NOTE: When using a Cook Time, the convection convert will not operate if you have a timed bake under 20 minutes.
