Convection and Combination Cooking
Raising (proofing) bread
You can use your microwave oven to proof bread.
First proofing:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and loose-
ly cover with waxed paper coated with shortening.
1. Place a container in the oven and fill
with 2 cups (500 mL) of boiling water.
Place the bowl on Convection Rack.
Close the oven door.
2. Touch CONVECT.
3. Touch Number pads to 100°F (38°C).
4. Touch START.
Two tones will sound when oven is preheated.
NOTE: Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size.
Proofing time may be faster and will vary depend-
ing upon the type and quantity of dough. Check
dough after 20 to 25 minutes.
5. When proofing is done, remove bowl
containing bread dough from the oven.
Empty water from container.
Second proofing:
Shape the dough and place in baking pan(s). Cover
loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
Place the container in the oven and fill with 2 cups
(500 mL) of boiling water. Put the pans on
Convection Rack. Close the oven door. Follow steps
2 through 5 outlined in “First Proofing.” When proof-
ing is done, remove from the oven the bread dough
and the container with the water. Reset oven to pre-
heat for baking bread. Before baking, remove plastic
wrap from the bread dough.
See the “Auto Convection Chart” section and follow
the directions.
Custom combination
cooking

close the door.

cooking time in hours:minutes.
For example: For 1 hour, touch “1 0 0”.

Helpful hints for
combination cooking
• Meats may be roasted directly on the Convection
Rack.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tender-
ized using oven cooking bags.
• Check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not
completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes
to complete cooking.
NOTE: During combination cooking, some cooking
utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact
with the oven walls or metal Convection Rack. Arcing
is a discharge of electricity that occurs when
microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing
occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and
the Convection Rack. If arcing occurs with other cook-
ing utensils, stop using them for combination cooking.
Custom broil cooking
1. Place food on Broiling rack and close
the door.
2. Touch BROIL.
3. Set broiling time in hours:minutes.
For example: For 1 hour, touch “1 0 0”.
4. Touch START.
When broiling time ends, display will show “END”
and 3 tones will sound.
After cooking, the display will return to the time of
day when you open the door.
