Microwave Cooking
Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor.
Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven
automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the shelves when
microwave cooking.
Cooking Method
Microwave energy
is distributed evenly
throughout the oven
for thorough, fast
cooking of food.
Heat Source
Microwave energy.
Heat Conduction
Heat produced
within food by
instant energy
penetration.
Benefits
Fast, high efficiency
cooking. Oven and
surroundings do
not get hot.
Easy clean-up.
Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
During baking or roasting, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the
oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F. to 450°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. This circulation of heated air is called convection.
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.
Always use the shelf when baking.
For best results, use one shelf In
the lower position. For two-level
cooking only, use both shelves.
Cooking Method
Hot air circulates
around food to
produce browned
exteriors and seal in
Juices.
Heat Source
Circulating heated
air
(Convection).
Heat Conduction
Heat conducted
from outside of food
to inside.
Benefits
Aids in browning
and seals in flavor.
Cooks some foods
faster than regular
ovens.
Combination Fast Baking
Your oven also offers the option of Combination Fast Bake, using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
Always use the shelf with Fast
Bake. For best results, use one
shelf In the lower position. For
two-level cooking only, use both
shelves.
Cooking Method
Microwave energy
and convection
heat combine to
cook foods up to
25% faster than
regular ovens,
while browning and
sealing inJuices.
Heat Source
Microwave energy
and circulating
heated air.
Heat Conduction
Food heats from
instant energy from
penetration and
heat conducted from
outside of food.
Benefits
Shortened
cooking time from
microwave energy,
plus browning
and crisping from
convection heat.
Warming
The warming feature will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot

food. Use cookware and utensils that can withstand temperatures up to 230°F.
Cooking Method
Warm air circulates
around food to keep
previously cooked
food warm.
Heat Source
Circulating heated
air (Convection).
Heat Conduction
Warmth conducted
from outside of food
to inside.
Benefits
Keeps hot, cooked
foods at serving
temperature.
