Cooking Tips For Great Tasting Results
To ensure consistent and even browning when cooking foods directly on the metal tray, arrange food as shown below.
Foods can touch but should not overlap.

UPPER OVEN: Speedcooking
Circular pattern
(Example: biscuits, cookies)
Spoke pattern
(Example: crescent rolls, breadsticks)

plastic or foil when cooking during a speedcook cycle.
Speedcook Power Level
Upper oven uses power from a high-intensity halogen
light, ceramic heaters and microwaves to cook food from
the top, bottom and interior simultaneously to seal in
moisture and flavor.
When using the preset speedcook recipes on the food
menu, the power levels are already selected for you.
However, these power levels can be adjusted before or
during cooking by using the selector dial to select to edit
the cook mode setting. The my recipes feature allows
you to speedcook items not on the preset food menu by
selecting your own cook time and power level settings.
Each power level gives you heater power and microwave
energy for a certain percentage of the time.
Upper Heater (UH) controls both the upper halogen light
and upper ceramic heater. A higher Upper Heater setting
will utilize more upper heater power, browning food
faster on top.
Select a higher setting for foods such as pizza and
baked goods. Select a lower setting for foods such as
casseroles, meat and fish.
Lower Heater (LH) controls the lower heater.
Select a higher setting to brown foods more on the bottom.
Select a lower setting for less browning on the bottom.
