Roasting CONV ROAST* (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. - Page 24 Roasting Conventional Roasting Chart (when using the Bake or Convection Bake setting) Internal Time Food Weight Temp (min/lb) Temp BEEF Rib roast Rare 4 - 6 lbs 325˚ F (162.8˚ C) 140˚ F (60.0˚ C) Medium 4 - 6 lbs 325˚...

Broiling CONV BROIL* (Convection Broil) The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. - Page 27 Broiling Broiling Tips • ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire. • To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. •...
