EASYCONVECT™ Conversion

Convection cooking temperatures and times 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.
