Convection Roasting
In the Convect Roast function, the bake and broil elements
operate, along with the fan, to provide heat in the oven cavity.
Use Convect Roast when cooking food on a single rack, such as
chicken, turkey, tender roasts and vegetables. It may also be
used when baking bread, pies, tube and loaf cakes on a single
rack.
During Convect Roast preheating, the fan and the bake and broil
elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished, the
same elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature while the
fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting or
preheating, the element(s) and the fan will turn off immediately.
Once the door is closed, they will come back on.
■ For optimal cooking results, do not cover food or use cooking
bags.
■ When roasting poultry and meat, use a roasting rack (not
included) on the top of a broiler pan and grid. It is not
necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless
recommended in the recipe.
If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan/Roasting Rack Kit,
one may be ordered. See Assistance or Service" section to
order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.
To Convection Roast:
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to CONVECT ROAST. The display
will read 300°F (150°C).
2. Turn the SET knob to desired temperature. See the
“Changing Oven Timer or Temperature” section.
The convection roast range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (75°C and 260°C).
3. Press the ENTER button. “0:00” will appear in the display,
and the Oven Timer indicator light will flash.
NOTE: If you wish to bypass setting a cook time, skip to
Step 5.
4. Turn the SET knob to the desired roasting time. The time will
change in 1-minute increments.
5. Press the ENTER button. The roasting time will be accepted
and the oven will begin to preheat. The display will alternate
between “PrE” and the actual oven temperature.
6. When the set oven temperature is reached, a tone will sound,
“PrE” will disappear and the display will alternate between
the set temperature and roasting time.
If a roasting time was not selected, the display will only show
the oven temperature.
7. Place item(s) to be cooked into the oven and close the door.
The oven timer will begin to count down from the set time,
and the display will alternate between the set temperature
and the remaining time.
8. When the roasting time ends, “0:00” will appear in the display
and 4 tones will sound.
The oven will remain on. Four reminder tones will sound every
minute, and the time will count up in 1-minute increments.
The display will alternate between “0:00” and the count-up
time until you reset or turn off the oven.
9. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished cooking.
Reference the “Cooking Charts” section when convection
roasting meats and poultry.
STEAM-ASSISTED COOKING
NOTE: For 208V installations it is recommended that cooking
temperatures be increased by 15°F (8°C) to adjust for reduced
voltage.
Steam-assisted cooking builds on the benefits of convection
cooking by helping to retain moisture, texture and flavor in food.
Steam or moisture is automatically added during the cooking
cycles. There are 2 categories of steam-assisted cooking: Auto
Steam and Select Steam.
■ Steam eliminates the need for the use of parchment paper
wraps (for cooking fish), water baths and spritzing during the
cooking process.
■ When cooking with steam, place meat, poultry, fish and
desserts into a cool oven. If the oven is hot from previous
cooking, allow the oven to cool down before steam cooking.
■ Optimum levels of moisture are introduced at the appropriate
time during the cooking cycles.
■ Specially developed cycles enhance browning on meats,
poultry and bread.
■ When baking bread, preheating is required.
■ For best results, the use of distilled water is recommended.
■ The range must be set to one of the steam functions in order
to fill the system with water.
■ The reservoir will hold 8 cups (2,000 mL) of water.
■ Do not fill the reservoir with any liquid other than water.
■ The convection fan will run continuously during all steam
functions except Desserts. The convection fan will cycle on
and off during the Desserts function.
Reference the “Cooking Charts” section when using steam-
assisted cooking and to help you convert your own recipes. Also,
reference the Auto Steam cookbook provided with the range.
