WARNING WARNING DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO COVER OR
SHIELD FOOD WHEN USING SPEED BAKE OR SPEED
ROAST. THE MICROWAVE IS ACTIVE DURING THESE
COOKING CYCLES. THE USE OF ANY METAL OTHER
THAN THE PROVIDED OVEN RACKS AND HIGH AND
LOW TURNTABLE RACKS INCREASES THE RISK OF
ARCING AND POSSIBLY FIRE INSIDE OF THE OVEN
CAVITY.
SPEED BAKE
This cook function provides superior results for baked goods
that require more than 20 minutes baking time. The SPEED
BAKE cooking function cycles the oven’s power between
90% convection oven and 10% microwave power to create
golden brown exteriors and perfectly moist interiors for foods
such as Bundt cakes, quick breads and muffins.
SPEED ROAST
This is ideal for larger, dense cuts of meat and whole poultry.
The SPEED ROAST cooking function cycles the oven’s
power between 70% convection oven and 30% microwave
power. This allows for reduced cooking time as the micro-
waves directly and rapidly heat the food internally while
convection function circulates dry, heated air throughout the
oven cavity to provide even cooking with browning for crispy
exteriors while the inside retains its juicy texture.

SPEED ROAST 300˚F (149˚C) 30%
With the exception of those foods that cook best by convec-
tion heating alone, most foods are well suited to mix cooking
using either SPEED BAKE or SPEED 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.
The temperatures can be changed, but the microwave
power cannot.
The oven temperature can be changed from 100°F (38°C)
to 450°F (232°C). To change the temperature, first touch
the SPEED ROAST pad or the SPEED BAKE pad then
touch the same pad again. When the display says SELECT
TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. Ex: Touch the SPEED
ROAST pad two times, then touch number 7 pad, and the
temperature will automatically change to 375˚F.
TO COOK WITH SPEED FUNCTIONS
• Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes on
SPEED BAKE:
1. Touch the SPEED BAKE pad.
2. Enter the cooking time by touching number pads 2500 .
3. Touch the START/+30 SEC pad.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION AND
SPEED FUNCTIONS COOKING
Your Convection Oven can cook any food perfectly because
of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, speed
functions, convection only or grill. This Operation Manual
tells you how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place.
Never restrict the movement of the turntable.
CONVECTION COOKING
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed.
When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking in a preheated
oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat.
Place the high rack on the turntable along with foods.
When preheat is over, open the oven door and quickly
place the turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.
2. Do not cover the turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many
convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have
extended handles.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance
to steaks, hot dogs etc.
SPEED FUNCTIONS COOKING
1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A
dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made
from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized
using oven cooking bags.
3. When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed.
If the food is not completely done, let it stand in the oven
a few minutes to complete cooking.
