EasyConvect™ Conversion 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. SETTING FOODS MEATS Baked potatoes, Chicken: whole and pieces Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham (Turkey and large poultry are not included because their cook time varies.) BAKED GOODS Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast Cakes and Cookies Casseroles: including frozen entrées and soufflés Fish OTHER FOODS Convenience foods: french fries, nuggets, fish sticks, pizza Pies: fruit and custard 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. Proofing Bread Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. To Proof: Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door. 1. Press BREAD PROOF. The display will show 100°F (38°C). 2. Press START. Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size, checking after 20-25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity. 3. Press OFF when finished proofing. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap, coated with cooking spray. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the plastic wrap. Timed/Delay Cooking WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to cook for a set length of time. Delay Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly. Timed Cooking is available on most cycles including: Bake, Convect Bake, Convect Roast, EasyConvect™ Conversion, Bread Proof, and Keep Warm. Delay Cooking is available on the Bake, Convect Bake, and Convect Roast cycles. To Set a Cook Time: 1. Press BAKE, CONVECT BAKE, CONVECT ROAST, BROIL, CONVECT BROIL, or BREAD PROOF.
