Always start with hotfood. 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 air inside theoven. Any oven temperature from 225°F. to 450°F. may be programmed. A fan gently circulates thisheated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors andrich moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is called convection.Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to developaround 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 automatically by sensor.Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The ovenautomatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.Cooking MethodMicrowave energyand convectionheat combine tocook foods up to25% faster thanregular ovens,while browning andsealing in juices.Heat SourceMicrowave energyand circulatingheated air.Heat ConductionFood heats frominstant energy frompenetration andheat conducted fromoutside of food.BenefitsShortenedcooking time frommicrowave energy,plus browningand crisping fromconvection heat.Always use the shelf with FastBake. For best results, use oneshelf in the lower position. Fortwo-level cooking only, use bothshelves.Combination Fast BakingYour oven also offers the option of Combination Fast Bake, using microwave energy along withconvection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
