Convection Roasting Guide - GE 49-80575-1 Owner's Manual

Using the convection oven.

turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
To change the oven temperature during
the Convection Roast cycle, touch the
CONVECTION COOK pad and then
touch the number pads to set the new
desired temperature.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
CAUTION
To prevent burns, do not unplug the probe
from the oven outlet until the oven has
cooled.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of the oven. Insert the
probe into the meat. Make sure it is
pushed all the way in.
Plug the probe into the outlet
in the oven. Make sure it is pushed
all the way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the PROBE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
NOTE: The maximum internal temperature
for the food that you can set is 200°F.
Touch the CONVECTION COOK pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
The display will flash PROBE and the oven
control will signal if the probe is inserted
into the outlet, and you have not set a probe
temperature and pressed the START pad.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the word
LO will be in the display.
After the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F, the changing internal
