Cooking Modes
CONVECTION ROASTING
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork 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
temperature probe can be used in this cooking mode. 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 the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack (Figure 1). 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 2 (next-bottom).
•
Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack
fits on the grid allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps
to increase browning on the underside.
•
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.
•
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food.
•
Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
