Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the 
minimum cooking time with a method such as using a 
toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe (on some 
models) to determine the doneness of meats and poultry.
EasyConvect
 Conversion
(on some models)
Convection cooking temperatures and times can 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.
To Use:
When using convection temperature conversion for BAKED 
GOODS and OTHER FOODS, allow the oven to preheat before 
placing food in the oven.
1. Press MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER FOODS.
2. Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature.
3. Press number pads to enter standard cook time.
4. Press START.
“CHECK FOOD AT” and the stop time will appear on the oven 
display, after preheating is complete.
When the stop time is reached, end-of-cycle tones will sound 
if enabled. Open the door and check food.
5. Press OFF when finished cooking.
Convection Bake
(on some models)
Convection Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single 
or multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to 
allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking 
time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, 
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. 
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space 
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the 
bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the 
convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain 
oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or 
preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off 
immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may 
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
1. Press CONVECT BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 
325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set 
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
“Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature 
is reached. 
“Lo” will also appear in the display if the actual oven 
temperature is under 170°F (77°C). 
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the 
oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in
1-degree increments. 
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
Convection Roast
(on some models)
Convection Roast can be used to roast meat and poultry, and 
bake foods, such as yeast breads, pies, loaf, bundt and tube 
cakes on a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and 
broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven 
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil 
element and convection fan will turn off immediately and the 
bake element will turn off within 2 minutes. They will come back 
on once the door is closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may 
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Roast:
Before convection roasting, position racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to 
wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless 
recommended in the recipe.
Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This 
holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate 
completely around all surfaces.
