Setting Oven Controls
Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection
fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated
air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in
juices and fl avors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy
brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. In
addition, there is no need to reduce the oven temperature
when using convection roast.
Convection roast may be set with the following options:
• Cook time or cook time with delay start
The following temperature settings apply to convection
roast:
• Factory auto-start default: 350°F/177°C
• Minimum: 170°F / 77°C
• Maximum: 550°F / 288°C
Benefi ts of convection roast:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
For best results
• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and
time recommendations or refer to the convection roast
chart for additional information.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
• Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time
by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe
(check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook
time until the desired doneness is obtained.
