Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples).

When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.

Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high temperature.

a.Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly, Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil burner.

Convection Roast uses heat from the lower

Convection Roast burner and an element behind the backwall. The heat is also circulated by the convection fan. The result is a crispier exterior that seals in juices.

The Convection Roast mode is well suited to pre- paring tender cuts of meat and poultry.

The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:

As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/ Baking

Rich, golden browning

For Best Results:

Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.

Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.

Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.

If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.
