Convection Roasting
During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the
convection fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will
turn off within 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (10° to 15°C). The cook time
may need to be reduced also.
To Select Convection Settings
There are 5 convection presets for time and temperature. Each
can be activated by sequentially pressing the CONVECT key.
The temperatures and times can be changed for each of the
following settings. This helps you to match the convection oven
settings with package instructions or your favorite recipes.
