Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat more that 5 minutes. • Meats should be at least 1 1/2" thick. • Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples). • Use the broil pan and grid included with your range. • Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering. • Salt after cooking.

Convection broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly. Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil element. Convection Roast Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan. The Convection Roast mode is well suited to preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. The benefits of Convection Roasting, include: • As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/ Baking • Rich, golden browning For Best Results: • Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe. • Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples. • Do not cover meat or use cooking bags. • Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used. • Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat. • If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning. • Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.
