ROASTING
Do not lock the oven door with the door latch
during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should
be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
The oven has a
special low shelf (R)
position just above
the oven bottom.
Use it when extra
cooking space is
needed, for example,
when roasting a
large turkey. The
shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed
Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. The standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 3°C. to
8°C. (5° to 10°F.); to compensate for the temperature
rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner
[3°C. to 8°C. (5° to 10°F.) less than the temperature in
the Roasting Guide].
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.

1. Position the oven
at shelf (B)
position for small
size roast [1.3 to
2.3 kg (3 to 5 lbs.)]
and at (R) position
for larger roasts.
2. Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-
up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting grid in a
shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select
a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The
broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature
is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”
and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing temperature. When
the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will
sound.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting
is finished and then remove the food from the
oven.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then
the + or – pad to get the new temperature.

Use of Aluminum Foil Dual Shelf Cooking
You can use aluminum
foil to line the broiler
pan. This makes clean-up
easier when using the pan
for marinating, cooking
with fruits, cooking
heavily cured meats or
basting food during cooking.
Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
This allows more than one food to be cooked at the
same time. For example: While roasting a 10 kg
(20-lb.) turkey on shelf (R), a second shelf may be
added on position D so that an additional food such
as scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same
time. Foods cooked with the turkey should be added
toward the end of the time allowed for the turkey.
For example, potatoes which cook for 1 hour should
be added to the oven 1 hour before the end of cooking
time for the turkey.
