Convection Mode (Model LRE3061 / LRE3193 / LRE3083)
The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or multiple racks.
Setting the Convection Function
(For example, cooking at 375 ℉)
Press Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 350 ℉.
Set the oven temperature: Press 3, 7 and 5.
Press START. The display shows Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting at 100 °F.
As the oven preheats, the display shows increasing temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light flashes on and off. The display shows the auto-converted oven temperature.
When cooking has finished or to cancel, press CLEAR/OFF.
The oven fan runs while convection baking. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.
It's normal that convection fan is not turning on directly. The fan will turn on later.
- Tips for Convection Baking
Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
When using Convection Bake, place the oven racks in positions suggested in the charts in this manual.
Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.
Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.
- Tips for Convection Roasting
Place the oven rack in the recommended position.
Place the grid in the broiler pan.
Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Convection roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease splatters.
Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.
Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.
Position food (fat side up) on the grid.
