Setting Conv Roast
The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec-
tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the
Conv Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be crisp on
the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Conv Roast:
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv
Roast. Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired
doneness is obtained.
The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid
will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the
meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting because this will
prevent the meat from browning properly.
To set Conv Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:
1. Press Conv Roast.
2. Press START •
[]
To cancel Conv Roast at any time press STOP.
Important note:
• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack.
Use a deep pan instead.
Selling Conv Convert
Pressing the Conv Convert key automatically converts the
cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to
the lower temperature required for convection baking.
When Conv Convert is used with a timed Conv Bake setting of
20 minutes or more, the Conv Convert function will display a CF
message as a reminder to check food when the bake time is
75% complete (See Figure 26). At this time the oven control will
sound one long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time
has finished.
