Setting Oven Controls EasyConvect Feature Meats and Baked Goods The EasyConvect Feature Meats and Baked Goods functions allow the conversion of a standard meat roasting or baked good recipe for convection baking. These controls use the normal recipe settings and adjust to a lower temperature for convection baking. After the preheat temperature is reached the oven set converted (reduced) temperature will be displayed. EasyConvect Feature Meats and Baked Goods are designed to give optimum cooking performance when preparing roasts and baked goods by providing a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing roasts to brown more evenly. If using either EasyConvect Feature Meats or Baked Goods with a Cook Time or a Delay Start setting, the oven will display CF when the bake time is 75% complete as a reminder to check the food and then sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished. (See Fig. 1). Important notes: If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed. When using either EasyConvect Feature Meats or Baked Goods bake time reductions may vary depending on the oven set temperature. The minimum amount of Cook Time that may be entered using the EasyConvect Feature Meats and Baked Goods function is 20 minutes. Meat Probe When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the meat probe function to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked meats. Proper meat probe placement Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or cookware. Fig. 1 Example To set EasyConvect Meats: 1. Press EasyConvect Meats keypad. 2. Enter the recipe temperature using the numeric keypad. 3. Press START and the oven set temperature adjustment will appear in the display (for example; if 400° F is entered, 375 will appear). For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. To find center of the food visually measure using probe as a guide (See Fig. 2). When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill. For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest part of inner thigh, below the leg (See Fig. 3). To cancel EasyConvect Meats at anytime press OFF.
