EasyConvect™ Conversion
Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil 
element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven 
cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food 
to heat the outer portion quickly.
   The convect function may be used to cook small amounts 
of food on a single rack.
   Always use the convection grid placed on turntable or 
baking tray.
   Always use the turntable “On” option when convection 
cooking with the convection grid (default setting).
   Do not cover turntable or convection grid or baking tray 
with aluminum foil.
   Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper 
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can 
be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are 
excellent for convection cooking.
   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.
