20 Setting Oven Controls Convection Broil Use convection broil for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. Convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices by using 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 broiling at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. Convection broil only works with the oven door closed. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks will become hot enough to cause burns. Convection Broiling Tips: • For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes. • Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food. • Always use the broiler pan with the insert when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element. • Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. Do not use the roasting rack when broiling. • Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recommended time. To set convect broil with a default oven set temperature of 550°F (288ºC): 1. Arrange oven racks. Select UPPER or LOWER OVEN. 2. Press conv broil. 3. Press START. Convection Roast Convection roast combines a cooking cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. There is no need to reduce the oven temperature when using convection roast. Convection roast may be set with the following options: • Cook time • Cook time with end time • Probe The following oven temperature settings apply for convection roast: • Minimum convection roast setting: 170°F (76°C) • Maximum convection roast setting: 550°F (288°C) Benefits of convection roast: • Some foods will cook faster, saving time and energy. • Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. To set convection roast with the factory default oven temperature setting of 350°F (176°C): 1. Select UPPER or LOWER OVEN. 2. Press conv roast. 3. Pres START. When activated, the control display will show CONV ROAST and the oven will begin heating. Once the oven reaches the set temperature a tone will sound indicating the oven is ready. To stop convection roast at anytime press CANCEL. For best results: • Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended broil pan and insert instructions and the directions for placing the oven racks as provided in the broil section. • Since convection broil cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). IMPORTANT! To change temperature settings use the hi + or lo- keys on either side of the zero (0) on the numeric keypad to increase or decrease the oven temperature. The oven temperature will change by +5°F or -5°F (2°C) with each press of the hi + or lo - key. Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange food in center of oven rack. • Convection roast cooks faster. Reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe. Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained. • Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information. See Table 2, "Convection Roasting Temperature and Time Recommendations," on the next page. • Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly. • It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead and place on lowest rack position.
