EasyConvect™ Conversion

Convection temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. EasyConvect™ conversion will automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and/or times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories. 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.
