If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Broil and bake elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

■It is not necessary to reduce oven temperature when roasting with convection. Roasting time may be shorter for poultry.

■For best results, use a broiler pan, grid and roasting rack, designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.

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 a 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.Press CONVECT ROAST.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 325°F (162°C). The convection roast range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2.Press START.

“Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature is reached.

“Lo” will also appear in the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 1-degree increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

3.Press OFF when finished cooking.

During convection broiling, the broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

The temperature is preset at 450°F (232°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.

If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan turns off immediately when door is opened and turns on again immediately when door is closed. Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

To Convection Broil:

Before convection broiling, see “Full and Center Broiling” section for general broiling guidelines. Position rack.

Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

Close the door.

1.Press CONVECT BROIL.

2.To change the preset temperature, enter the desired temperature on the numerical keys. The convection broil temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 260°C).

3.Press START.

The set temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.
