Correct shelf position

Incorrect shelf position

Fast Bake offers the best features of microwave energy and convection cooking. Microwaves cook food fast and convection circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F may be set.

For Best Results…

Use one shelf in the lower position and leave at least a 1-inch gap between the cooking dish and the sides of the oven. For two-level cooking only, use both shelves.

The shelf is required for good air circulation and even browning.

See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.
