Convection Roast

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry,

or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.

During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle

on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan

constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil

and bake elements and fan will turn off immediately. They will

come back on once the door is closed.

■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may

need to be reduced also.

To Convection Roast:

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to

wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless

recommended in the recipe.

Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This

holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate

completely around all surfaces.

1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to CONVECT ROAST.

The display will read 300°F (149°C).

2. Turn the SET knob to desired temperature.

The convection roast range can be set between 170°F and

500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3. Press the ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the

function will start automatically.

4. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when

finished cooking.
