Convection Bake; Convection Roast - KitchenAid ARCHITECT KGRS807 Use & Care Manual

Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from
those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected
category, EasyConvect
TM
conversion automatically may reduce
the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for
convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the
category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure
optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the
end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a
guide.

To Use:
When using convection temperature conversion for BAKED
GOODS and OTHER FOODS, allow the oven to preheat before
placing food in the oven.
1. Press MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER FOODS.
2. Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature.
3. Press number pads to enter standard cook time.
4. Press START.
"CHECK FOOD AT" and the stop time will appear on the oven
display, after preheating is complete.
When the stop time is reached, end-of-cycle tones will sound
if enabled. Open the door and check food.
5. Press OFF when finished cooking.
A. Convection element and fan
Convection Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single
or multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to
allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking
time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the bake burner and broil
element heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection
element and bake burner 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 baking or
preheating, the convection burner and fan will turn off
immediately. 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 Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
1. Press CONVECT BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
"Preheating" will show in the display until the set temperature
is reached.
3.
"Lo" will also appear in the 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, if on, 1 tone will sound.
Press OFF when finished cooking.

Convection roasting can be used to roast meat and poultry, and
bake foods, such as yeast breads, pies, loaf, bundt and tube
cakes on a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake
burner and broil element 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 burner 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
also need to be reduced.
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 a roasting rack on top of a 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
325°F (162°C). The convection roast range can be set
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
