program is 99:99 (99 minutes and 99 seconds). The timer
will start to count down when the Start button is pressed.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven
cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food that is cooking which heats the outer portion of the
food quickly to brown and make the food crisp quickly and
evenly. You can program the oven to cook with 10 different
pre-set temperatures.
To cook with convection, press the “Convection” button on
the control panel once and then select the desired oven
temperature by pressing on one of the numbered keys.
Then enter the time that you want to cook the food. For
example, if you want to cook something for 30 minutes at
350 ˚, press the following:
1. Press “Convection” button once.
2. Select the temperature that you want. In this case it
would be the “8” (350 ˚F). (Fig. 1)
3. Enter the time that you want it to cook for.
Press 3 0 0 0 for 30 minutes. (Fig. 2) The maximum
cooking time that you can program is 99:99 (99
minutes and 99 seconds). The timer will start to count
down when the Start button is pressed.
4. Press the “Start” button to begin cooking.
Note: If you want to check the temperature during the
cooking cycle, press the “Convection” button once and the
digital display will show you the selected temperature.
5. When cooking is complete, the microwave will beep 4
times to let you know that it has finished cooking and
the display will show “END”.
6. Before starting another cooking session, press the
“Stop/Cancel” button to clear the display and reset the
system.
Note: If you want to temporarily stop the cooking process,
press the “Stop/Cancel” button on the control panel once to
stop it and then press the “Start” button to restart. If you
want to cancel a cooking process, press the “Stop/Cancel”
button twice to cancel.
To Preheat and Cook with Convection
Your oven can be set to combine preheating with
convection cooking. If you wish to preheat the oven to
200 ˚F before cooking:
1. Press “Convection” button once.
2. Press the “2” on the keypad to indicate the convection
temperature of 200 ˚F.
3. Press the “Start” button. The digital display will show
alternately “PH” and “200 ˚F”. The oven will beep 4
times when the selected temperature is reached and
the digital display will say “PLACE FOOD”..
4. Open the oven door and place the food inside to cook
on the center of the glass turntable.
5. Use the keypad to enter the cooking time. The oven
will now continue to cook at the temperature that was
previously set.
Tips for Convection Cooking
1. Do not cover the glass turntable, metal rack, pizza pan
or any other container with aluminum foil. It interferes
with the flow of air that cooks the food.
2. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items.
3. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other
baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat
the oven just as you do a regular oven.
4. All heatproof cookware can be used in convection
cooking.
5. Always use oven gloves when removing food and
cookware from the oven.
6. Do not use lightweight plastic containers or paper
products during any convection cooking cycle.
