Setting Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec-
tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the 
Conv Roast function will be juicier and poultry will be crisp on 
the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 
170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv 
Roast. Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook 
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your 
recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired 
doneness is obtained.

The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid 
will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the 
meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent 
the meat from browning properly.

To set Conv Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1.

Press Conv Roast.

2. Press .

To cancel Conv Roast at any time press 

.

Important note: 

The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake, 
Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.

If the oven door is opened when any convection function is 
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven 
door is closed.

It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. 
Use a deep pan instead.

Setting Conv Convert

Pressing the Conv Convert key automatically converts the 
cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to 
the lower temperature required for convection baking. 

When Conv Convert is used with a timed Conv Bake setting of 
20 minutes or more, the Conv Convert function will display a 

CF

 

message (

Figure 14

time is 75% complete. At this time the oven control will sound 1 
long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has 
finished.
