Microwave Cooking
Using the energy of microwaves only, food is cooked quickly without
altering the color or shape.Microwaves generated by a magnetron are /
uniformly distributed by the fan so that the food in the oven heats and
!
is cooked, Microwave power in 99 steps implies it takes 99 steps, ena-

Micro/Convec Cooking
With both microwave energy and hot air utilized, this method cooks food
much more quickly than any conventional method. The solid state con-
trol alternates cooking energy between microwave and hot air cycles to
provide efficient cooking fully utilizing the advantages of both microwave
and hot air cooking systems,
When foods with high moisture content are cooked by the micro/con-
vec method, beads of water may accumulate on the top and/or sides of
the oven door, but will dissipate after use..
