■ 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.
CONVECTION CHART
To Use:
1. Position convection grid on turntable in microwave oven or
place baking tray on slide rails and close the door.
2. Touch EASYCONVECT™ function.
3. Touch number key to select food category from the
Convection Chart
OR
Touch EASYCONVECT™ function repeatedly to scan and
select food category. For example, to select the Meats
setting, EasyConvect™ must be touched twice.

Temperature can be set between 170°F and 450°F (77°C
and 232°C).

cook. Time can be set up to 11 hours and 59 minutes.
NOTE: Doneness function not active for EasyConvect™.
6. Touch START. “Preheating” and “Lo” will appear on the upper
oven display. Once the temperature reaches 170°F (77°C),
“Lo” will be replaced by the increasing temperature. Time and
temperature will be automatically converted for convection
cooking.
When preheating is complete 2 tones will sound and the
display will show the set temperature and “INSERT FOOD”
prompt.
7. Place food or bakeware on convection grid or on baking tray
and close the door.
8. Touch START. The upper oven display will count down the
cook time and show temperature for convection cooking.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off
automatically and “cooking complete” will appear on the
oven display.
If enabled end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones
will sound every minute.
9. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop
reminder tones.
