Setting Convection Roast
The Convection Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) and 500°F (260°C).
Suggestions for Convection Roast:
•
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convection Roast. Since Convection 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 because this will
prevent the meat from browning properly.
To set Convection Roast with a default oven set temperature of
350°F:
1.
Press Convec Roast.
2. Press START.
To cancel Convection Roast at any time, press STOP.
Important note:
•
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 Convection Convert
Pressing the Convection Convert key automatically converts the
cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to
the lower temperature required for convection baking.
When Convection Convert is used with a timed Convection Bake
setting of 20 minutes or more, the Convection Convert function
will display a
CF
message as a reminder to check food when the
bake time is 75% complete (

control will sound one long beep at regular intervals until the set
cook time has finished.
