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 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 Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor
Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your
microwave cooking for you. They are easy and
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions
in this guide. A sensor detects steam from the food
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion—it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked
after the countdown, use MICRO COOK for
additional cooking time.

Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and
convection to roast meats to perfection.

Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time
and power levels for you. 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 Delay Start/Reminder 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.
