Microwave Cooking Power
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent, name, or number. For example,
70% = 7 = Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
Microwave Cooking Power Chart
PERCENT/NAME NUMBER USE
100%, High
(default setting)
10 Quick heating convenience
foods and foods with high
water content such as
soups, beverages, and
most vegetables
90% 9 Cooking small, tender pieces
of meat, ground meat,
poultry pieces, and fish fillets
Heating cream soups
80% 8 Heating rice, pasta, or
casseroles
Cooking and heating foods
that need a cook power
lower than High, for example,
whole fish and meat loaf
70%,
Medium-High 7 Reheating a single serving
of food
60% 6 Cooking sensitive foods such
as cheese and egg dishes,
pudding, and custards

Convection and Automatic Mix
Cooking
IMPORTANT: The microwave oven should not be used without
the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it
cannot rotate. You can remove the turntable when preheating the
microwave oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly
on the turntable.
Convection Cooking
The convection system circulates hot air through the microwave
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly. This microwave oven can
be programmed for 10 different convection cooking temperatures
for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.
To cook with convection:
1.
Touch CONVECT.
2. Touch a temperature keypad. For example, touch “6” for 350°F
(177°C).
3. Touch number keypads to enter cooking time. For example,
touch “2,” “0,” and “0” for 2 minutes.
4. Touch START.
NOTE: To see the programmed microwave oven temperature,
touch and hold CONVECT.
Preheating and Cooking with Convection
The microwave oven can be programmed to combine preheating
and convection cooking operations. You can preheat to the same
temperature as the convection temperature or change to a higher
or lower temperature.
To program:
1.
Touch PREHEAT.
2. Touch a temperature keypad for the preheat temperature.
For example, touch “6” for 350°F (177°C).
3. Touch CONVECT.
4. Touch a temperature keypad for the cooking temperature.
For example, touch “7” for 375°F (191°C).
5. Touch number keypads to enter cooking time. For example,
touch “2,” “5,” “0,” and “0” for 25 minutes.
6. Touch START.
When the microwave oven reaches the programmed
temperature, a tone will sound 4 times.* The microwave oven
will stop and directions will be displayed. Follow the displayed
directions.
7. Open the door, place food in the microwave oven, and close
the door.
8. Touch START.
* If the microwave oven door is not opened, the microwave
oven will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for
30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, a tone will sound
and the microwave oven will turn off.
