About the convection features.
Convection Cooking
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.
Combination Roast
uses alternating microwave and convection to roast meats to perfection.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection and
combination cooking. This guide describes the many different things your
Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do. You will find a wide variety of cooking
methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle.
