Setting Convection Roast
This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best
results when roasting. Remember to use tested recipes
with times adjusted for convection roasting when using the
convection mode. This oven is equipped with multiple fan
speeds for even cooking when baking and better tasting
meats when roasting. It will use a faster fan speed for
roasting which will quickly strip the cold air away from the
meats replacing it with warm air (making a crisp outside -
type of searing) sealing in juices for better tasting meats.
Conv Bake may be set with the following option:
Cook Time and / or Delay Start
The following temperature settings apply to the conv bake
feature:
Auto-suggest (default setting): 350°F / 177°C.
Min. bake setting: 170°F / 77°C.
Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C.
Benets of Convection Bake
Multiple rack baking.
No special pans or bakeware needed.
For best results
Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and
time recommendations.
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.
To set the Convection Roast
See example below to set conv roast to start immediately at
375°.
1. Arrange oven racks.
2. Press Conv Roast.
3. Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number
pads 3, 7, 5.
4. Press Start.
To change the Convection Roast temperature
(example: changing from 375°F to 425°F)
1. Press Conv Roast.
2. Enter the desired roasting temperature using the number
pads 4, 2, 5.
3. Press Start.
After the oven has reached the desired temperature, the
control will beep and CONV ROAST light will stay on. Note:
The Bake, Broil and Convection elements will cycle for a
better heat distribution.
When convection roasting is complete press Stop.
Setting Convection Convert
The Conv Convert pad is used to automatically convert
a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When
set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual
converted (reduced) temperature in the display.
Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Conv Bake,
Timed Conv Bake or a Delay Start (Delayed Timed Conv
Bake) setting. When used with a Timed Bake or a Delay
Start (Delayed Timed Bake) setting, the Convection Convert
will display a “CF” for check food when the bake time is
75% complete. At this time the oven control will sound 3
long beeps at regular intervals until baking had nished.
When the bake time has completely nished the control will
display “End” and will sound 3 long beeps every 30 seconds
until the Stop pad is pressed.
To change from a normal bake recipe to a convection
bake recipe (example: changing a 400°F normal
bake recipe to a convection bake recipe)
When the conv bake mode is on at 400°F, press Conv
Convert. CONV BAKE” and the oven temperature
adjustment will appear briey in the display (for this
example it is 375°F). A beep will sound once the adjusted
oven temperature is reached. The display will show “375°”,
CONV BAKE” and the fan icon.
NOTE: When using a Cook Time, the convection convert will
not operate if you have a timed bake under 20 minutes.
