Convection roast
Convection (conv) roast combines a cook cycle with the con-
vection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.
Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and
brown on the outside while staying moist inside. There is no
need to reduce the oven temperature when using conv roast.
Conv roast may be set with the following options:
•
Cook time
•
Cook time with end time
The following oven temperature settings apply for conv
roast:
•
Factory default temperature: 350°F/176°C
•
Min. conv roast setting: 170°F/76°C
•
Max. conv roast setting: 500°F/260°C
Benefits of conv roast:
•
Superior multiple oven rack performance

To set conv roast with the factory default oven temperature
setting of 350°F (176°C):
1.
Press CONV ROAST
2.
Pres START
When activated, the control display will show CONV ROAST
and the oven will begin heating. Once the oven reaches the set
temperature a tone will sound indicating the oven is ready.
To stop conv roast at anytime press CANCEL.
Preheating for conv roast will not be necessary for most meats
and poultry.
•
Arrange oven racks so the food is in the center of the oven.
•
Since conv roast cooks faster, reduce cook times by 25%
from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food
at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the
desired doneness is obtained.
•
Place food items using the recommended rack positions for
the type of food being prepared.
•
Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and
7
time recommendations or refer to the conv roast recom-
6
mendations for additional information. See
"Convection roasting temperature and time recommenda-
5
tions,"
on the next page.
