Convection Roasting
In the Convect Roast function, the bake and broil elements operate, along with the fan, to provide heat in the oven cavity. Use Convect Roast when cooking food on a single rack, such as chicken, turkey, tender roasts and vegetables. It may also be used when baking bread, pies, tube and loaf cakes on a single rack.
During Convect Roast preheating, the fan and the bake and broil elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished, the same elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature while the fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting or preheating, the element(s) and the fan will turn off immediately. Once the door is closed, they will come back on.
■For optimal cooking results, do not cover food or use cooking bags.
■When roasting poultry and meat, use the roasting rack on the top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless recommended in the recipe.
