Always start withhot food. Use cookware and utensils that can withstand temperatures up to 230°F.During baking or roasting, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the airinside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F. to 450°F. may be programmed. A fangently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producinggolden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is calledconvection.Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air todevelop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automaticallyby sensor.Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking.The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.Cooking MethodMicrowave energyand convection heatcombine to cookfoods up to 25%faster than regularovens, whilebrowning andsealing in juices.Heat SourceMicrowave energyand circulatingheated air.Heat ConductionFood heats frominstant energy frompenetration and heatconducted fromoutside of food.BenefitsShortenedcooking time frommicrowave energy,plus browning andcrisping fromconvection heat.Always use the shelf with Fast Bake.For best results, use one shelf in thelower position. For two-level cookingonly, use both shelves.Combination Fast BakingYour oven also offers the option of Combination Fast Bake, using microwave energy alongwith convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crispingto perfection.Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
