Convection Roast (on some models)
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rôtisserie. 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 you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
m
(on some models)
Touch the CONVECTION COOK or
CONVECTION BAKE pad once for multi-rack
convection baking. This mode is used for
cooking food items on more than one rack
(i.e., 2,3 or more racks) at the same time in
convection bake. See the Multi-Rack
Convection Baking section for more
information.
Touch the CONVECTION COOK or
CONVECTION BAKE pad twice for one-rack
convection baking. This mode is used for
cooking food items on only one rack in
convection bake.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for
convection roasting (on some models).
Touch the number pads to set
the oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: If the Auto Recipe™ Conversion Feature
is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular
baking temperature by 25°F to the appropriate
convection temperature in convection bake
mode. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the
Special Features section.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the CONVECTION COOK, CONVECTION BAKE or
CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number
pads to set the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed.
When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3
beeps will sound.
^ Touch CLEAR/OEE pad when finished.
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
You may hear the oven clicking during baking.
This is normal.
In convection bake modes, for maximum
cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate
in both directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
when baking cookies, you will get
the best results If you use a flat
cookie sheet Instead of a pan with
low sides.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation
in the oven. If you are baking with several pans,
leave space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the walls of the
oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular baking can
also be used for convection baking but should
not be used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be
used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven; however, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
