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 fits 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.

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
