ing team. This state-of-the-art system brings together
the best of all worlds. Enjoy the browning and crisping
capabilities of convection plus the speed of microwave

foods and keeps them moist and juicy. Convection
and roast cooking add the advantage of browning and
crisping food beautifully. Auto Roast is a combination
setting which uses convection heat to seal and brown
the outside while using microwave energy to make
sure the interior is cooked.
WHAT IS CONVECTION
COOKING?
With convection cooking, a high speed fan circulates
air past the heat source and around the food. The
superheated air browns and crisps the food beautifully.
• Use the CONVEC settings for baking most items.

for using all of the settings.
WHAT IS ROAST COOKING?
When using ROAST, most food is elevated on the rack,
allowing cooking to occur on all sides simultaneously.
It is usually not necessary to turn foods over during
grilling. Fats drip away from the food, providing for
greatavorwithoutallthefat.
• Use the ROAST setting for everything you’d broil
in a conventional oven—steaks, chops, burgers,
chickenandsh.
• Place rack on the turntable to allow juices to drain
away from food.
• Use the ROAST top only setting to brown and crisp
just the tops of such foods as casseroles.
WHAT IS AUTO ROAST?
AUTO ROAST combines convection heat with mi-
crowave power to provide crisp brown exteriors and
superior juiciness for meats and poultry.
• Use AUTO ROAST for meats, poultry and cas-
seroles.
• Place foods on the rack so that the air passes all
around the food sealing in the juices.
• Place a shallow oven-glass dish or disposable pizza
pan below the rack to catch juices if gravy is desired.
Also helps speed cleaning.
• NO PREHEATING IS NECESSARY.

UTENSILS
A wide variety of utensils may be used in convection
and roast cooking. Remember that there is heat when
cooking with convection, grill or roast; therefore utensils
must be able to withstand the cooking temperature
you are using.
You may use:
• the Carousel turntable as a baking sheet for cookies
• the rack for either convection or roast cooking
• traditional metal bakeware
• round pizza pans. Choose those that do not have
extended handles.
• oven-glass baking dishes
• plastics if indicated for use with heat; usually states
temperature limit on the bottom. CHECK.
