Convection Roast
(on some models)
Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry,
or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.
During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil
element and convection fan will turn off immediately and the
bake element will turn off within 2 minutes. They will come back
on once the door is closed.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Roast:
Before convection roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to
wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless
recommended in the recipe.
Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This
holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate
completely around all surfaces.
1. Press CONVECT ROAST.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
300°F (149°C). The convection roast range can be set
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in
1-degree increments.
When the set temperature is reached, one preheat
completion tone will sound if tones are turned on.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
