OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Convert
Convection convert automatically converts 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 a delay start and bake time. For delay
start instructions, see page 20. For bake time instructions,
see page 20. If convection conversion 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 three long beeps at regular
intervals until baking time is finished. The control will
display End and continue to beep at regular intervals until
off is pressed.
To set the oven for convection bake with a standard
baking recipe temperature of 400°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Press convect. Convect and bake will flash and 350
will appear in the display.
3. Pres 4 0 0. Convect and bake will keep flashing and
400° will appear in the display.
4. Press start.
5. Set bake time or delay start if needed. For delay start
instructions, see page 20. For bake time instructions,
see page 20.
6. Press convect convert, and the oven will start heating.
The temperature displayed will be 25°F lower than what
it used to be. The actual oven temperature and the fan
icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven
temperature reaches 375°F, and the display will show
375°, CONVECT, BAKE, and the fan icon.
7. Place food in the oven.
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; 350 will be displayed; Convect and
bake will flash.
3. Press convect again. 350 will be displayed, and
convect and roast will flash.
4. Enter the desired roasting temperature using the
number keys. Press 3 7 5.
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.
• It’s not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting
rack. Use a deep pan instead.
• 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. 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.
When using a bake time under 20 minutes, the convec-
tion convert will not beep and display the CF message.
Pressing off will stop the feature at any time.
Bake, broil, and convection elements will cycle for better
heat distribution and faster and more even cooking.
Should an oven fire occur, close oven door and 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.
