MANUAL CONVECTION AND AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

(CONT.)

SLOW COOK

Slow Cook is preset at 300˚F [149˚C] for 4

hours. The temperature can be changed to

below 300˚F [149˚C]. The cooking time cannot

be changed. This feature can be used for foods

such as baked beans or marinated chuck steak.
For example, to change oven temperature from

300˚F [149˚C] to 275˚F [135˚C]:
1. Touch the

SLOW COOK

pad.

2. Touch the

SLOW COOK

pad once more if

you want to change the temperature from

300˚F [149˚C].

3. Touch the temperature pad

275˚F

4. Touch the

If you do not change the temperature,

omit steps 2 and 3.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

This oven has two pre-programmed settings

that make it easy to cook with both convection

heat and microwave automatically.

With the exception of those foods that cook

best by convection heating alone, most foods

are well suited to mix cooking using either Low

Mix/Bake or High Mix/Roast.
The marriage of these two cooking methods

produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes

and fine textured breads, all with just the right

amount of browning and crispness.

AUTOMATIC MIX TEMPERATURE

The temperatures can be changed; however, the

microwave power cannot.
The oven temperature can be changed

from 100-450°F [38-232°C]. To change the

temperature, first touch

HIGH MIX

LOW

MIX

then touch the same pad again. When

the display says

SELECT

TEMP

, touch

the desired temperature pad. Ex:

HIGH MIX

375˚F

. The mix temperature will

change to 375˚F [191˚C] automatically.
