Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sides as if they
were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be
circulated over, under and around the food
being roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product while,
at the same time, creating a rich golden brown
exterior.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Press the Convection Bake pad once
(Convection Bake Multi mode) for multi-
rack convection baking. This mode is used
for cooking food items on more than one
rack (i.e. 2, 3 or more racks) at the same
time in convection bake. See Multi-Rack
Baking section for more information.
Press the Convection Bake pad twice
(Convection Bake 1 Rack mode) for one
rack convection baking. This mode is used
for cooking food items on only one rack in
convection bake.
Press the Convection Roast pad for
convection roasting.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is used
to prevent grease spatters.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
Press the number pads to set the desired
oven temperature.
Press the Start pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be
displayed. When oven reaches the temperature
you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Press Clear/Off pad when finished.
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
You may hear the oven clicking during baking.
This is normal.
