SETTING CONVECTION ROAST (lower oven

only)

This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, park

and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired.

The Convection Roasting gently browns the exterior and

seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the hidden

bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil

element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and

continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed

for Convection Roasting at any temperature between 170°F

to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.
Convection Roasting Tips:
• Use a broiler pan and grid, and a roasting rack (available

by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease spills

and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack

will hold the meat.

• Place an oven rack on rack position 1 (offset rack).

• No preheat is needed in convection roast.

• Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the

grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack ﬁ ts on the grid

allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even

cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside

(available by mail order only).

• There is no need to reduce the convection temperature or

to use the Convection Convert feature with this cooking

mode.

• DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover

the grid with aluminum foil (available by mail order).

• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before

removing food.

• Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.

SETTING CONVECTION CONVERT (lower

oven only)

The Convection Convert pad is used to automatically convert

a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When

set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual

converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection

Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking

mode. It can be used with the features Delay Start and

Bake Time (see their sections for directions). If convection

conversion is used with the Bake Time and Delay Start

features, “CF” (check food) will be displayed when 75% of

the bake time complete. At this time the oven control will

sound 3 long beeps at regular intervals until baking had

ﬁ nished. When the bake time has completely ﬁ nished the

control will display

“

the CANCEL pad is pressed.
