OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Roast
This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb,
pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is
desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and
seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake
element, convection element, broil element, and fan to
circulate the 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.
To set a convection roast temperature of 375°F:
1. Arrange oven racks and place food in the oven.
2. Press convect. The display will show 350 and convect
and bake will flash.
3. Press convect again. The display will show 350 and
convect and roast will flash.
4. Enter the desired roasting temperature using the
number keys, i.e.: 3 7 5. Press start.
The actual oven temperature will be displayed. Convect,
roast, and the fan icon will be displayed. The bake, broil,
and convection elements will also cycle for a better heat
distribution.
Convection roasting tips:
• Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack
(available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch
grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler
pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil.
• Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing
food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase the
cooking time necessary for best results.
• It’s not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1
(offset rack).
Setting My Favorites Recipe (some models)

Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven door, turn off
the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
