SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Í NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.
Í NOTE
The Bake, Broil and Convection elements will cycle for a
better heat distribution.
SETTING CONVECTION ROAST (Upper
oven only)
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb,
pork 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 element, the hidden convection
element, the broil 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 170°F to 550°F 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 (offset rack).
• 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 Convection 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 CONVERT (Upper
oven only)
The Convection 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 Convection
Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features Delay
Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions). If
convection conversion is used with the Bake 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 will sound 3
long beeps every 30 seconds until the CANCEL pad is
pressed.
