Convection Cooking
During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and
evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten different convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes 99
seconds.
The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate.
You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven and when preparing food to be c_ked directly on the
turntable.
Helpful Hints:
I. Foods may be cooked either directly on the turntable or with the rack or trivet on the turntable.
2_ Do not cover turntable, broiling trivet or baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking vesselsfor many convection-only items. Choose pans that do r_at have
extended handles.
4. Hot dogs cooked on the broiling trivet may be turned over to give an even, grilled appearance.
Automatic Mix Cooking:
This oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave
automatically.
with the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, rn_ foods are well suited 1_ mix
cooking using either LOW MIXiBAK£ or H]GH MIX/ROAST_
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes, and fine textured breads,
allwithjusttherightamount ofbrowningand crispness,
Helpful Hints:
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the broiling trivet or in a shallow roasting pan on the trivet on the tumtable.
2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3 When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few
minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when thay come in contact with _e turntable, oven
walls or _1 accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact
with metal If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex_pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between
the pan and the turntable or trivet, tf arcing occurs with other baking utensils, discontinue their use for combination
cooking,
