OPERATION OF TOUCH CONTROL PANEL Your new Microwave-Convection Oven uses a microprocessor, the electronic brain that provides a wide variety of cooking programs which could not be achieved by conventional control methods. The operation of the oven is controlled by touching the appropriate pads arranged on the surface of the control panel.
To Set the Clock Your microwave oven functions as a clock to keep the time of day. To set the clock, follow this procedure. When oven is plugged in, all indicators will light and _/J-_ will flash on and off every second. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad,[-_C n w II appear.

MICROWAVE COOKING Throughout your Microwave-Convection Cookbook you will find step by step directions for each recipe. Basic instructions follow: 1. Always make certain the metal turntable is seated and in place. The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate.
Variable Cooking Control The Variable Cooking Control on your oven allows you to select the rate of cooking: Approximate percentage of microwave power HIGH 100% MEDIUM HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW!DEFROST Some foods give best results when cooked more sLowly at a lower cooking power.
Multiple Sequence Microwave Cooking Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one Variable Power Setting to another automatically. Check the microwave recipe section of your Microwave-Convection Cookbook for ideas on when to use multiple sequence cooking.
CONVECTION COOKING Your new oven can also be used for both convection and automatic microwave-convection cooking. During convection heating, air is circulated throughout the oven cavity brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. The oven should not be used without the metal turntable in place and it should never be restricted...
r To Cook by Convection Your Microwave-Convection Oven can be programmed for ten different convection cook- ing temperatures for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. * Suppose you want to cook at 350°F for 12 minutes. Step Procedure Pad Order Display Enter desired cooking time.
To Preheat and Cook by Convection the Same Temperature Your Microwave-Convection Oven can be programmed to combine preheating and convec- tion cooking or preheating and automatic mix cooking operations. can preheat at the same temperature as the MIX temperature or change it to a higher or lower temperature.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING Your Microwave-Convection Oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwaves automatically. The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 350°F with 10% microwave power, while the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is preprogrammed for 375°F with 30% microwave power.
To Change Convection Temperature Automatic Mix Settings may want to change the preprogrammed temperature of the LOW MIX/BAKE HIGH MIX/ROAST settings.

BROILING Your new Microwave-Convection Oven has special function keys to simplify programming. They are BROI L and SLOW COOK. Preheating is automatic when the BROIL setting is used. Only actual cooking time is entered; the oven signals when it is preheated to 450 ° F. Suppose you want to broil a steak for 14 minutes.
SLOW COOK The SLOW COOK setting is preset for 300°F for 4 hours. It is designed for foods which cook longer than 99 minutes, 99 seconds at 300°F or less. Foods sqch as baked beans or marinated chuck steak are best cooked slowly at low temperatures.

CLEANING AND CARE Touch Control Panel: Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. This will inactivate the control panel. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with...
CONDENSATION Occasionally some foods will cause the oven to "sweat". The humidity and moisture food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. CAUTIOUS REMINDERS: Do not operate the oven empty...
CONVECTION COOKING GUIDELINES This section of the operation manual is intended as a guide for the best cooking results using Convection heating alone and combination cooking. Please use it as a guide along with your new Microwave-Convection Cookbook. ACCESSORIES The following accessories are designed especially for use in the Microwave-Convection...
CONVECTION HEATING-, Some foods are best when cooked using convection heat alone. These are foods which often have a cooking time 15 minutes or less and usually need quick crisping browning. These include: Appetizers - frozen, pastry-type, or other Biscuits and rolls - dairy case, brown n'serve,...
....CONVECTION BROILING 1 Your Microwave-Convection Oven will broil meats, fresh or frozen to perfection! As in conventional cooking, broiling time will vary with thickness as well as weight. For best results use the directions that follow: Basic Convection Broiling Procedure: 1.
Helpful Hints: 1. If roasting frozen meat, insert dual safe meat thermometer halfway through cooking time. 2. Thin sections of meat and wingtips and legs of birds that may overcook can be shielded with small pieces of aluminum foil. 3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
