The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen.
Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some roast functions. Some roast functions require that the food be placed directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof dish or pan under the rack to catch the drippings.
Use the steamer vessel base, insert, and lid for steaming or use just the base and lid for simmering.
To Test Cookware/Dinnerware: Place dish in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. Program 1 minute of cook time at 100%. If dish becomes hot and the water stays cool, do not use the dish in the microwave oven.
For a list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.

To Cook with Convection
Use the provided convection rack and a microwave-safe, ovenproof baking dish. See the "Accessory Configurations" section.
Microwave oven cavity, inside of the door, convection rack, and baking dish will be hot. Use oven mitts to remove the dish and to handle the hot convection rack.
Touch Convect Bake or Convect Roast and Select Manual Convection Bake or Manual Convection Roast.
Use number keypads to enter a temperature, 250°F (121°C) to 450°F (232°C). Touch COOK TIME/POWER, and enter time in hours and minutes up to 4 hours.
To add microwave power, if desired, touch COOK TIME/POWER and enter power level from 10% to 30%.
Touch START to begin preheat. Preheat may be skipped by touching START again. After preheat, place baking dish with food on the convection rack, and then touch START to begin cooking.
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 1 minute. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid or cover microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap, and vent. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before sensor cooking.
At the end of any cycle using less than 100% cook power, "PRESS 0 TO ADD MORE TIME" scrolls in the display. Enter the additional time, if desired, and start the microwave oven. The cook power for all non-sensor cycles will be the same as in the finished cycle but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after a sensor cycle, the cook power will be 100% but may be changed.
Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching COOK TIME/POWER repeatedly to scroll through "NORMAL," "MORE DONE," or "LESS DONE" within the first 20 seconds of starting the cook cycle. Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Keep Warm function uses 10% cook power. Keep Warm can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Keep Warm will cancel the function.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean.
Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge or as indicated below.
NOTE: A filter status indicator (on some models) appears in the display when it is time to replace the charcoal filter and clean or replace the grease filters. See the "Settings" section to reset filter status.
