WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options. Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed- in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Your new oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by temperature, by these methods, using the temperature probe to determine the doneness by the internal temperature of the food. This method takes the guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off automatically when the food reaches the desired temperature.

The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your microwave cooking for you. They are easy and convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and convection to roast meats to perfection.

Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. Enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be used like an alarm clock.
