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 cooking heats
food directly, not the cooking utensil 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.
AUTO ROAST is a combination cooking function
that uses the temperature probe. You simply select
from 8 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 3 from 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 Start Timer lets you program the oven to start
cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection and combination
cooking.
