Operating Instructions

Microwave/Convection Cooking

Microwave cooking uses
very short, high frequency
radio waves. The movement
of the microwaves through
the food creates heat and
cooks most foods faster
than regular methods.
Microwave cooking heats
the food, not the cookware
or the interior of the oven.

Convection cooking
constantly circulates
heated air around the
food. It creates even
browning and sealed-in
flavor by the motion of hot
air over the food surfaces.

Using a combination of
microwave and convection
cooking is also an option.

You can cook by time or 
by temperature. When
cooking by temperature,
the temperature probe
monitors the internal
temperature of the food 
to let you know when it 
is ready.
