Convection Roast
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the cover and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over the around the food being roasted. 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 convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to prevent grease splatters.
Convection Defrost
With temperature control off, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness and food waste, do not allow defrost food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being cooked.
Convection Dehydrate
With the temperature control on 175oF, warm air is radiated from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.
BROILER OPERATION
Note: Door must be closed during broiler operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven. Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hard metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat
To Broil
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
