tains slots that allow grease from the meat to drain into the broil pan. NOTE The broiler pan and the insert are not included with the appliance. • Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If the smoke is excessive please refer to the "Oven problems" table. • Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook the second side. Season and serve. • Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food (see "Regular rack"). Convection Roast function tips • Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and heating element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this function are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. In addition, there is no need to reduce the oven temperature when using convection roast. • The Convection Roast function is optimized for multiple oven rack cooking. • Place an oven rack in position 2 (next up from bottom). • Please refer to the "Convection Roast function cooking table" for temperature and time instructions when cooking with this function. • Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly. 33 USING THE OVEN Meat probe cooking tips • For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. When cooking fish, insert the probe just above the gill. • For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg. • In general, place the temperature probe transversely in the thickest part of the food and for least 3/4 of its length. • For very thick pieces of meat, take care to insert the entire length of the probe to ensure correct temperature detection.
