HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

Meats may be roasted directly on the Convection Rack. Use Drip Pan to catch grease.

Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

Check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE: During combination cooking, some cooking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the oven walls or metal Convection Rack. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and the Convection Rack. If arcing occurs with other cooking utensils, stop using them for combination cooking.

AUTO CONVECTION COOKING

You can automatically cook a wide selection of foods just by touching one of the 6 Auto Convection pads: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Baked Goods, Snack Foods, Other Foods.

See the "Auto Convection Chart" section and follow the directions.

On Auto Convection settings for baked goods, snack foods, other foods, and specific frozen foods, simply select the food category and touch START.

Auto Convection settings for meats, poultry, and fresh fish will prompt you to enter the weight or thickness to provide the best cooking results.

You can select how done you would like your meats cooked (Rare, Med-Rare, Medium, Med-Well, Well) by touching the TEMP/POWER/DONENESS pads. The settings will cook to Medium if you do not adjust the doneness.

You may adjust the recommended time and temperature of the Auto Convection settings during cooking if you desire by touching the HOUR, MIN and TEMP/POWER pads. Then touch START.
