Combination Cooking (Microwave And Convection) - Amana ACE530 Service

Combination Cooking
To avoid risk of burns, handle utensils, racks, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, and racks
to cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and racks, become hot during operation.
To operate the oven for combination cooking, you can use preprogrammed
pads or manual time entry. The following instructions are for
combination cooking only. For convection only cooking, see that section.

Microwave cooking uses high
frequency energy waves to heat
the food. When cooking,
microwave energy causes food
molecules to move rapidly. This
rapid movement between the
food molecules creates heat,
which cooks the food. POWER
displays when oven is
generating microwave energy
for the current cycle.
Convection cooking uses the
selected oven temperature to
bake and brown foods. The
circulating air surrounds food in
an envelope of evenly heated air.
Oven will maintain a minimum
convection temperature of 65°C
(150°F) to ensure drier air and
more even cooking.
