SETTING CONVECTION ROAST
The CONVECT ROAST pad isdesignedto giveoptimum
cookingperformanceforthis feature. T he oven can be
programmed for Convection Roasting at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of
350°E The convection roast feature combines a cook
cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats
and poultry. Preheating is not necessary for meats and
poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all
sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy
brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.
Convection Roasting Tips:
- Use a broiler pan and grid, and a roasting rack (avail-
able by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease
spills and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roast-
ing rack will hold the meat.
• Place an oven rack on rack position 1 (Figure 1).
• No preheat is needed in convection roast.
- Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
grid in the broiler pan (available by mail order only).
The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the heated
air to circulate under the food for even cooking and
helps to increase browning on the underside.
- There is no need to reduce the convection temperature
or to use the Convection Convert feature with this
cooking mode.
- DO NOT use the broiler pan (available by mail order)
without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
- Always pu!l the rack out to the stop position before
removing food.
- Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
