Convection Cooking

Convection Cooking uses the convection element (on some models) and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the microwave oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

The Convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single rack.

■Always use the Convection Grid.

■Do not cover Turntable or Convection Grid with aluminum foil.

■Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking, but metal utensils cannot be used in microwave cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.

■Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.

■No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures might need lowering, and some cooking times reduced.

■This oven may be preheated in the same way that standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for preheating.)

To Convect Cook with Preheat:

1.Position convection grid on turntable in microwave oven and close the door.

2.Touch CONVECT QUICK REHEAT twice.

The cook temperature setting may be changed as desired from 170°F to 450°F (75°C to 232°C) by touching the number pads at this time.

3.Touch EASY MINUTE START.

The display will show the “TIME” prompt.

4.Touch number pads to enter length of time to cook, in hours and minutes, up to 4 hours.

5.Touch EASY MINUTE START.

When the temperature reaches 170°F (75°C), the display will show the preheating temperature in 5°F (-15°C) increments until the set cooking temperature is reached.

When preheating is complete, one tone will sound, and the display will show the cooking time.

6.Place food or bakeware on convection grid and close the door.

7.Touch EASY MINUTE START.

The display will count down the cook time.

Each time the door is opened during cooking, the EASY MINUTE START pad must be touched to restart cooking.

When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display,

4 end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound every minute.
