Microwave Cooking
Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically
by sensor.
Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking.
The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

cooking of food.
Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
During baking or roasting, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air
inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F (107°C to 230°C) may be
programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around
the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors. This circulation of
heated air is called convection.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to
develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
