Manual Convection and Automatic Mix Cooking
This section gives you specific cooking instructions and
procedures. Please consult your Convection Microwave
Hood Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and
combination cooking.
The microwave oven should not be used without the
turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so
that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when
preheating the microwave oven and when preparing food
to be cooked directly on the turntable.
Caution: The microwave oven cabinet, cavity, door,
turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will become
hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when
removing the food or turntable from the microwave oven.
CONVECTION COOKING
During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout
the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and
evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten different
convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes,
99 seconds.
TO COOK WITH CONVECTION
• Suppose you want to cook at 350˚F for 20 minutes:
1. Touch Convec pad.
2. Select temperature by touching number pad
6
350˚F
.
3. Enter cooking time by touching number pads 2000 .
4. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH CONVECTION
Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating
and convection cooking operations. You can preheat to
the same temperature as the convec-tion temperature or
change to a higher or lower temperature.
• Suppose you want to preheat to 350˚F, and then cook
25 minutes at 375˚F convection:
1. Touch Preheat pad.
2. Select temperature by touching number pad
6
350˚F
.
3. Touch Convec pad.
4. Select temperature by touching number pad
7
375˚F
.
5. Enter cooking time by touching number pads
2500 .
6. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
When the microwave oven reaches the programmed
temperature, it will automatically hold at the preheat
temperature for 30 minutes and then the display will
change to time of day. Whenever Stop/Clear pad is
touched during this 30 minute period, PRESS CONVEC or
PRESS MIX will be displayed and cooking mode and time
can be entered.
Note: To preheat and cook with the same temperature,
enter same temperature in steps 2 and 4.
BROIL
Preheating is automatic when the Broil setting is used.
Only actual cooking time is entered; the oven signals
when it is preheated to 450˚F. Oven temperature cannot
be changed. Use Broil setting for steaks, chops, chicken
pieces and many other foods. See Convection Broiling
Chart in cookbook.
• Suppose you want to broil a ham steak for 15 minutes.
1. Touch Broil pad.
2. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads
1500 .
3. Touch Start/Touch On pad. No food in oven.
When the microwave oven reaches the programmed
temperature, a signal will sound*.
4. Open the door. Place food in oven. Close the door.
Touch Start/Touch On pad.
* If the microwave oven door is not opened, the
microwave oven will automatically hold at the preheat
temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed,
an audible signal will sound and the microwave oven
will turn off.
Note:
1. Preheating for broil may take from 7 to 10 minutes
depending on temperature of room and available
power.
2. Although time is usually set for the maximum
broiling time, always check food at the minimum
time recommended in the chart of cookbook. This
will eliminate the need to completely reprogram the
microwave oven if additional cooking time is needed.
Simply close the microwave oven door and touch Start/
Touch On to continue.
SLOW COOK
