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).

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.
• 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).
