Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
Storage temperature
▯
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook.
Size
▯
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly
when cooked together. For more even results, reduce
the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
▯
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
Stirring
▯
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.
(Constant stirring is not necessary.)
Convection
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven
cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even
browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces.
You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450° F
(100 to 230°C).
Notes
Use the Speed Chef mode for cooking with
▯
microwave and conventional heat combined. You can
not combine these two modes manually.
For best cooking results always use the wire rack with
▯
Convection mode.
CAUTION
9
The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will
become hot during Convection. Always use oven
mits.
Cookware tips for Convection
Metal Pans:
▯
Recommended for all types of baked products,
especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper
crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a
light tender crust.

Turning
▯
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Placing food
▯
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Arranging food
▯
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Letting food stand
▯
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the
center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and
surface area of the food items.
Wrapping foods
▯
Sandwiches and many other food types containing
pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels
or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help
prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:
▯
Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.
Note: Always use the convection rack when using the
Convection mode.
