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.

7. When settings are correct, touch START. The control will
automatically adjust the time and/or temperature for
convection cooking.
8. If the oven temperature is below the set temperature, the
Preheat Bar will be displayed showing the status of the
preheat cycle. When preheat is complete a tone will sound.

appears on the lower right hand corner of the display. Touch
ADJUST SETTINGS to change the desired time and
temperature. Touch START to enter new settings.
