GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE

OVEN WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Your oven has a MAXWAVE™ multiple microwave distribution system. Microwave energy is released from two locations, giving you better, more even cooking.

Glass turntable

Metal floor

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

HOW CONVECTION COOKING WORKS

Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Auto Convection, Manual Convection or Combination cooking programs. DO NOT USE THE OVEN

WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.

HOW COMBINATION COOKING WORKS

Combination microwave/convection

Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the proper cooking results. It shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. Your oven has a setting that makes it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave energy automatically.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

•If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.
