Setting Convection Roast - Kenmore 970C6702 series User Manual

Setting Convection Roast

The Convection Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Convection Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) and 500°F (260°C).
Suggestions for Convection Roast:
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convection Roast. Since Convection 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 Convection Roast with a default oven set temperature of
350°F:
1. Press Convec Roast.
2. Press START.
To cancel Convection 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.
