Assisted Cooking
Assisted cooking functions enable you to prepare a wide variety
of dishes, choosing from those shown in the list. Most cooking
settings are automatically selected by the appliance in order to
achieve the best results.
Functions are displayed by food categories in the FOOD list and
by recipe features in the LIFESTYLE menu.
Once you have selected a function, simply indicate the
characteristic of the food (quantity, weight, etc.) you want to cook
to achieve the perfect result.
Favorites
The Favorites feature stores the microwave settings for your
favorite recipe.
As you continue to utilize your Favorites tool, your product will
rene and tailor suggestions towards your cooking cravings/
needs.
NOTE: A select set of Favorites and suggestions may be
automatically shown on the Home screen based on your meal
times.
To save a recipe, select the Favorites keypad (heart icon), and
follow the prompts on the screen to customize your favorites.
Add an image or name to the favorite to customize it to your
preferences.
Convect Modes
Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil
element, and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the
microwave oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air
surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.
■ The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of
food on a single rack.
■ Always use the convection grid placed on turntable or baking
tray.
■ Do not cover turntable or convection grid or baking tray with
aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent
for convection cooking.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as soufes, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and sh.
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard
cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe
temperatures and times for convection cooking.
The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in
general categories. Use the following chart as a guide.
