Easy clean-up.
Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air
inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 170°F to 425°F may be programmed. A fan
gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing
golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to
develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

2. Enter cooking time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL to select power level.
4. Press START.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on a range. Each
power level gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the
time. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you
100% power. HI power level will cook faster but food
may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning
over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need
less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may
have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the
lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when
cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as
scalloped potatoes.
Add
30 Sec
Power
Level
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to
the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with
power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did
not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power
levels:
HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and
less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Microwave Cooking Features
Humidity Sensor
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity
released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts
the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion—it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after
the countdown, use Time Cook for additional cooking
time.
Ŷ
The proper containers and covers are essential for
best sensor cooking.
Ŷ
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight
sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to overcook.
Ŷ
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam
can mislead the sensor.

Convection Bake Cooking or Warming
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is
important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a
light tender crust.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.
Convection Roast Cooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use
items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the
shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistant Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods
requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
