CONVECTION AND AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

This section of the Use & Care Manual gives you specific cooking instructions and procedures. Please consult your Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combination cook- ing.

Page numbers followed by the letter c indicate the convection/mix section of the book.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it can- not rotate. You may remove the turntable when pre- heating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable.

Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will be- come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turn- table from the oven.

Convection Cooking

During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten different convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.

To Preheat and Cook with Con- vection

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheat- ing and convection cooking operations. You can pre- heat to the same temperature as the convection tem- perature or change to a higher or lower temperature.

*Suppose you want to preheat to 350° F, and then cook 25 minutes at 375° F. convection:
