EasyConvect™ Conversion
Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those
of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category,
EasyConvect
™ conversion automatically reduces the standard
recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into four general categories. Choose the
category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. Use the
following chart as a guide.
Setting Foods
MEATS 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
PIZZA Fresh pizza, Frozen pizza
OTHER Frozen convenience foods: french fries,
nuggets, fish sticks, lasagna
To Use:
NOTE: For best results, preheat your oven to the desired
temperature prior to using Easy Convect ™ Conversion. After
preheating is complete, press OFF before using EasyConvect ™
Conversion.
1. Press the EASY CONVECT key for the desired option
(MEATS, BAKED GOODS, PIZZA or OTHER).
2. Press START.
3. Press the number keys to enter standard cook temperature,
and then press START.
4. Press the number keys to enter standard cook time, and then
press START.
5. Place the food in the oven.
Check food for doneness before the stop time is reached. If
food will not be done when the stop time is reached, add more
cooking time before time elapses (see the “Cook Time”
section). At the end of the stop time, the oven will
automatically turn off.
6. Press OFF when finished.
7. Remove food from the oven.
Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof
should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first
and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a
slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be
used for the second rise of formed dough.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place in
position 2, and then close the oven door.
1. Press BREAD PROOF until the desired proof is displayed
(“Standrd” or “Rapid”).
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. 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 then cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control
steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the
display will indicate “oven cooling” until the temperature is below
120°F (49°C).
