■Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
■All EasyConvect™ functions require preheating before use.
Place food in microwave oven after preheating is complete.
EasyConvect™ Conversion is a function that converts a standard
thermal bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time
and temperature for convection cooking after the oven has
preheated.
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard
cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe
temperatures and times for convection cooking.
The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in
general categories. Use the following chart as a guide.
