30 OPERATION
NOTE
• When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or
other baked foods, most recipes call for
preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you
do a regular oven. You can start cooking more
dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and
poultry without preheating.
• All heatproof cookware or metal accessories can
be used in convection cooking.
• Use the metal accessories only for convection
cooking. Never use for microwave or
combination cooking since arcing and damage
to the oven may occur.
• After preheating, if you do not open the door,
the oven will automatically hold at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest,
metal tray, metal rack, and cooking accessories
will become very hot. Use oven mitts when
removing the food, cooking accessories, metal
rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection
cycle.
Combination Cooking Tips
Combination microwave-convection cooking
shortens the cooking time for foods that would
usually take a long time to cook. It leaves meats
crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. In
combination cooking, the convection heat and
microwave energy alternate automatically.
NOTE
• Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack
or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack.
Check the Cooking Guide for instructions on
using the metal rack.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
• When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely done, let stand in
oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.
Precautions
• All cookware used for combination cooking must
be both microwave-safe and oven-safe.
• During combination baking, some baking
cookware may cause arcing when it comes in
contact with the oven walls or metal accessory
racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that
occurs when microwaves come in contact with
metal.
- If arcing occurs, immediately stop the cooking
cycle and place a heat resistant dish between
the pan and the metal rack.
- For best results, use the metal tray supplied
with your oven.
- If arcing occurs with other baking cookware,
do not use it for combination cooking.
