EasyConvect™ Conversion

Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EasyConvect™ conversion automatically may reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.

Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a guide.

SETTING	FOODS
MEATS	Baked potatoes, Chicken: whole and pieces
	Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham
	(Turkey and large poultry are not included
	because their cook time varies.)
BAKED	Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast
GOODS	Cakes and Cookies
	Casseroles: including frozen entrées and
	soufflés
	Fish
OTHER	Convenience foods: french fries, nuggets, fish
