OWN
CAN DO
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options. Microwave cooking
uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves through the food
generates heat and cooks most foods faster than
regular methods, while retaining their natural
texture and moisture. Microwave
cooting heats
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of
the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
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. Or you can cook by
temperature, by these methods, using the temperature
probe to determine the doneness by the internal
temperature of the food. This method takes the
guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off
automatically when the food reaches the desired
temperature.
The Automatic Cooking Control (Auto Cook) feature
does your microwave cooking for you. It’s easy and
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions
in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power
level
for best results.
Combination Auto Roast is a cooking function that
uses the temperature probe. You simply select from
4 Combination Auto Roast codes, and the oven
automatically adjusts power level, oven temperature
and internal food temperature to cook the food the
way
you want it.
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time
and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate
code number from 1 to 6 for the food you are
defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds
and tenths of a pound and touch the START pad.
The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes
power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting
results.
The Auto StatiReminder feature lets you program the
oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re
not at home. The Reminder feature can be used like
an alarm clock.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection and combination
