Convection Temperature Conversion
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. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven
will prompt a food check at the end of non-delayed Timed
Cooking. Use the following chart as a guide.
