PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.

OPERATION OF TOUCH CONTROL PANEL Your new Microwave-Convection Oven uses a microprocessor, the electronic brain that provides a wide variety of cooking programs which could not be achieved by conventional control methods. The operation of the oven is controlled by touching the appropriate pads arranged on the surface of the control panel.

MICROWAVE COOKING Throughout your Microwave-Convection for each recipe. Basic instructions follow: Cookbook you will find step by step directions 1. Always make certain the metal turntable is seated and in place. The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. 2. The Variable Cooking Control on your Microwave-Convection Oven allows you to select the amount of microwave energy and the rate of cooking or defrosting.
Variable Cooking The Variable Cooking Control Control on your oven allows you to select the rate of cooking: Approximate HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW HIGH LOW!DEFROST percentage of microwave power 100% 70% 50% 30% 10% Some foods give best results when cooked more sLowly at a lower cooking power. Your cookbook will indicate the recommended variable setting for each recipe. See your Microwave-Convection Cookbook for guidelines on how to use the Variable Cooking Control.
Multiple Sequence Microwave Cooking Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one Variable Power Setting to another automatically. Check the microwave recipe section of your Microwave-Convection Cookbook for ideas on when to use multiple sequence cooking. * Suppose you want to defrost for 20 minutes at MEDIUM continue to cook for 30 minutes at MEDIUM HIGH.

CONVECTION COOKING Your new oven can also be used for both convection cooking. During brown and crisp convection heating, hot foods quickly and evenly. and automatic air is circulated microwave-convection throughout the oven cavity to The oven should not be used without the metal turntable in place and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven or when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable; cookies, for example.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING Your Microwave-Convection Oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwaves automatically. The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 350°F with 10% microwave power, while the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is preprogrammed for 375°F with 30% microwave power. On both of these settings the convection heating system and the microwave system automatically alternate to give you fast, even cooking.

SLOW COOK The SLOW COOK setting is preset for 300°F for 4 hours. It is designed for foods which cook longer than 99 minutes, 99 seconds at 300°F or less. Foods sqch as baked beans or marinated chuck steak are best cooked slowly at low temperatures. The SLOW COOK feature expands the length of cooking time to a maximum of 4 hours at 300°F or lower. It adds to the overall versatility of your new Microwave-Convection Oven. When using this setting, no cooking time is entered; you will need to time food manually.

CLEANING AND CARE Touch Control Panel: Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. This will inactivate the control panel. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water. Interior: 1. The oven walls and floor are stainless steel.
CONDENSATION Occasionally some foods will cause the oven to "sweat". The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. CAUTIOUS REMINDERS: 1. Do not operate the oven empty in the microwave mode. Either food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb microwave energy. 2.
CONVECTION COOKING GUIDELINES This section of the operation manual is intended as a guide for the best cooking results using Convection heating alone and combination cooking. Please use it as a guide along with your new Microwave-Convection Cookbook. ACCESSORIES I The following accessories are designed especially for use in the Microwave-Convection Oven. The racks are for convection or combination cooking only; do not use for microwave cooking alone.
CONVECTION HEATING-, Some foods are best when cooked using convection heat alone. These are foods which often have a cooking time of 15 minutes or less and usually need quick crisping and browning. These include: Appetizers - frozen, pastry-type, or other Biscuits and rolls - dairy case, brown n'serve, your Browniesmix, your recipe Cookies - mix, slice n'bake, frozen, your recipe Cream puffs, puff pastry, turnovers, etc.
................. 1 CONVECTION BROILING 1 Your Microwave-Convection Oven will broil meats, fresh or frozen to perfection! As in conventional cooking, broiling time will vary with thickness as well as weight. For best results use the directions that follow: Basic Convection 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Broiling Procedure: Preheat oven 15 minutes at 450°F. Prepare and season meat on both sides, as desired. Place meat on broiling trivet or turntable.
Helpful Hints: 1. If roasting frozen meat, insert dual safe meat thermometer halfway through cooking time. 2. Thin sections of meat and wingtips and legs of birds that may overcook can be shielded with small pieces of aluminum foil. 3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags. 4. For true roasting, and fewer calories, use broiling trivet to hold meat out of its juices. 5.
