Cooking with CONVECT

(Models KEMS308G, KEMS378G, KBMC147H, and KBMC140H only)

This section gives you step-by-step instructions for operating the CONVECT function in the microwave oven.

NOTE:

•Use the short convection grid with bake- ware or place food directly on grid. The turntable will catch drippings from the food.

Using CONVECT

TOUCH

CONVECT

QUICK

PREHEAT

Touch this pad to cook small amounts of food on a single rack using the CONVECT feature in the microwave oven. For even heating, the fan at the rear of the microwave oven circulates the heated air from the ele- ment. Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil. Always use the convection grid when cooking with CONVECT. The grid positions the food in the best location for air circulation around it during cooking. Place the grid in the microwave oven before preheating.

CONVECT cooking with QUICK PREHEAT

2.Set QUICK PREHEAT.

We recommend preheating the oven before placing food inside for cooking.

When the microwave oven is preheated, place cookware containing food on the convection grid or place food directly on the grid. Prevent heat loss by opening the door only when necessary and closing it quickly during CONVECT cooking.

NOTE: You may choose to QUICK PREHEAT or not to preheat.
