FOOD FINISHING HINTS:
• Most menu items will require the Lower Power
Value to be set higher than the Upper Power
Value.
• Frozen or refrigerated food product can be
heated in the unit. Frozen items do not have to
be thawed first.
• Menu items that have completed a food finishing
cycle but are not hot enough can be put back in
the unit for additional heating.
• When testing a menu item not listed in the

start by dividing the conventional cooking time by
three and use that number as your cooking time.
Set top and bottom heat at 50% and adjust from
there. Program setting will vary based on model
