To program only preheat:
Touch START after the previous Step 2. Preheating will start. When
the microwave oven reaches the programmed temperature, follow
the displayed directions.
To preheat and cook with the same temperature:
Enter the same temperature in steps 2 and 4.
Automatic Mix Cooking
Automatic Mix cooking produces juicy meats, moist and tender
cakes, and fine-textured breads, all with just the right amount of
browning and crispness. Although some foods are best cooked
with convection heat only, most foods can be mix cooked with
either Low Mix/Bake or High Mix/Roast.
The microwave oven has two pre-programmed settings for
automatic cooking with both convection heat and microwaves:
SETTING OVEN
TEMPERATURE
MICROWAVE
POWER
High Mix/Roast 300°F (150°C) 30%
Low Mix/Bake 350°F (177°C) 10%
Although the microwave oven temperature can be changed,
microwave power cannot. The microwave oven temperature
can be changed from 100°F (38°C) to 450°F (232°C).
To change the temperature:
1.
Touch HIGH MIX/ROAST or LOW MIX/BAKE twice.
2. When the display shows “SELECT TEMP,” touch the desired
temperature keypad. For example, number keypad “7” for
375°F (191°C).
To cook with Automatic Mix:
1.
Touch LOW MIX/BAKE.
2. Touch the number keypads for the cooking time,
for example “2,” “5,” “0,” and “0” for 25 minutes.
3. Touch START.
To preheat and cook with Automatic Mix:
The microwave oven can be programmed to combine preheating
and Automatic Mix cooking. You can preheat at the same
temperature as the preset combination temperature or change
it to a different 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 LOW MIX/BAKE twice.
4. Touch a Temperature keypad for the cooking temperature.
For example, touch “5” for 325°F (163°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.
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.
To program only preheat:
Touch START after Step 2 above. Preheating will start. When
the microwave oven reaches the programmed temperature,
follow the displayed directions.
Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic Mix
Cooking
General:
The microwave oven cannot be used without the turntable
in place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.
Convection Cooking:
■
The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during
the convection cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
■
Use the provided convection racks.
■
Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
products. All ovenproof cookware can be used with the
Convect function.
■
No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven
recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures
might need to be reduced and some cooking times might
need to be shortened.
■
When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed.
When using the high rack for two-shelf baking in a preheated
microwave oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for
preheat. Place the high rack on the turntable along with food.
When preheating is over, open the microwave oven door and
quickly place the turntable, high rack, and food to be baked
inside.
■
Do not cover the turntable, low rack, or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with airflow that cooks food.
■
Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many
convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have
extended handles.
■
Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to
steaks, hot dogs, etc.
Automatic Mix Cooking:
■
Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A
microwave-safe dish can be placed below the meat if gravy
is to be made from the drippings.
■
Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using
oven cooking bags.
■
When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed.
If not completely done, let stand in microwave oven a few
minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE: During Mix baking, some metal baking utensils may cause
arcing when they come in contact with the microwave oven walls
or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs
when microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs,
place a heat-resistant dish (Pyrex ® † pie plate, glass pizza dish, or
dinner plate) between the pan and the rack. If arcing occurs with
other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for Mix cooking.
