BAKE / ROAST
The Bake/Roast mode uses dry heat to cook and brown food. A high speed fan circulates hot air inside the
oven to heat food quickly and evenly. When you cook using convection, you would generally use the low rack.
If you are cooking a large amount of food, you can cook using the low and middle racks simultaneoulsy. For
best results if you are using both racks, change the location of the food in the middle of cooking.

SPEED BAKE / ROAST
The combination cooking feature allows you to cycle automatically between microwave and Bake/Roast
cooking. The food will be moist as well as crisp and brown. This type of cooking is ideal for large foods that
require long cooking times when prepared in a conventional oven (such as large roasts, whole chickens, etc.).
When combination cooking, use the low or middle rack to allow air to circulate completely around the dish.

food a brown and crispy surface.
Cookware for cooking with Speed bake/roast
Please only use cookware that is specially manufactured for microwave ovens. Do not use metal cookware
with this combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for Speed bake/roast
Other food suitable for this combination mode cooking include all kinds of previously cooked food which need
reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top
of the food. This mode can also be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g.
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Other food suitable for this cooking mode include a
variety of meats and poultry as well as frozen snacks and pizza.
