-T YOUR OWN CAN DO
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options. Microwave cooking
uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves through the food
generates heat and cooks most foods faster than
regular methods, while retaining their natural
texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is spent
in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated
air around the food, creating even browning and
sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air
over the food surfaces.
Your new oven also offers the option of combination
cooking, using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with speed and
accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking,
conv~tion cooking
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off
automaticrdly. Or you can cook by temperature, by
these methods, using
the temperature probe to
determine the doneness by the
intemd temperature of
the food. This method takes the guesswork out of
cooking, shutting the oven off automatically when the
food reaches the desired temperature.
The Automatic Cooking Control (Auto Cook) feature
does your microwave cooking for you. It’s easy
and
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions
in this guide. A sensor detects steam from the food
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.
Auto Roast is a combination cooking function that
uses the temperature probe. You simply select from 8
Auto Roast codes, and the oven automatically adjusts
power level, oven temperature and
intemd food
temperature to cook the food the way you want it.
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time and
power levels for you. You choose the appropriate code
number from 1 to 3 for the food you are defrosting,
then enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a
pound and touch START pad. The oven
crdculates the
defrosting time and changes power levels during
defrosting to give even defrosting results.
The Delay Start Timer lets you program the oven to start
cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home.
