s Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish. s 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 SETTING FOODS CODE BAKED GOODS Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast, 1 Cakes and Cookies Casseroles: including frozen entrées and soufflés Fish MEATS Baked potatoes 2 Chicken: whole and pieces, Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham *Turkey and large poultry are not included because their cook times vary.
