auToMaTIC MIx CooKInG
Your convection microwave oven can cook any food
perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook:
microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil.
The cookbook that comes with your oven has excellent
instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help
you get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until
you are familiar with it. This use and care manual tells
you how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place.
Never restrict the movement of the turntable.
CONVECTION COOKING:
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or
removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking
in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turn-
table for preheat.
Place the high rack on turntable along with food. When
preheat is over, open the oven door and quickly place
the turntable, high rack and food to be baked inside.
2. Do not cover the turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks
food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not
have extended handles.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appear-
ance to steaks, hot dogs etc.
AUTOmATIC mIx COOKING:
1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack.
A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be
made from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tender-
ized using oven cooking bags.
3. When baking, check for doneness after time has
elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a
few minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE:
During mix baking, some metal baking utensils may cause
arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven
walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electric-
ity 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 rack. If arcing occurs with other met-
al baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.
