MANUAL CONVECTION AND
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
Helpful Hints for Convection and 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.This Use and Care Guide tells you how
to program the oven, with excellent instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes.
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 turntable for preheat.
Place high rack on turntable along with foods.When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly
place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.
2. Do not cover 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, 10'[ 12"and 14" size.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance 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 tenderized 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 electridty 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 metal baking utensils, discontinue their
use for mix cooking.
