SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
 NOTE
The convection fan will start 6 minutes after the oven is set
for Convection. The display will show an icon of rotating
fan within a square. This rotating fan icon indicates when
the Convection Fan is operating.
 NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.
SETTING CONVECTION ROAST
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb,
park and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed
is desired. The Convection Roasting gently browns the
exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses
the hidden bake burner, the hidden convection element and
a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously
within the oven. The oven can be programmed for
Convection Roasting at any temperature between 300°F
to 550°F (149°C to 288°C) with a default temperature of
350°F.
Convection Roasting Tips:
• Use a broiler pan and grid, and a roasting rack
(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch
grease spills and the grid will help prevent spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat.
• Place an oven rack on rack position 1.
• No preheat is needed in convection roast.
• Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fi ts on the grid
allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for
even cooking and helps to increase browning on the
underside (available by mail order only).
• There is no need to reduce the convection temperature
or to use the Convect Convert feature with this cooking
mode.
• DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil (available by mail order).
• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
removing food.
• Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.

SETTING CONVECTION CONVERSION
The Convect Convert pad is used to automatically convert
a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When

converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convect
Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake
cooking mode. It can be used with the features Delay
Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions).
If convect convert is used with the Bake Time and Delay
Start features, “CF” (check food) will be displayed when
75% of the bake time complete. At this time the oven
control will sound 3 long beeps at regular intervals until
baking had fi nished. When the bake time has completely
fi nished the control will display “ End ” and beep at
regular interval until the CANCEL pad is pressed.
