Convect
Convection cooking uses the convection 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 rack placed on turntable.
■ Always use the turntable On option when convection cooking
with the convection rack (default setting).
■ Do not cover turntable or convection rack or baking tray with
aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
products.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
■ Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake)
cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for all other
convection and combination cycles.
Simmer Cooking
Simmer Cook is a sensor cooking function that uses microwaves
to simmer food. Always use the steamer vessel. Use Simmer
Cook for foods such as rice, pasta, potatoes, soups, and other
liquid foods. Add water to steamer base, cover with lid, place in
microwave oven, and start the cycle. When the water begins to
boil, the microwave oven will stop and prompt for the pasta to
be added. Using oven mitts, gently remove steamer vessel from
microwave oven, add pasta, re-cover, return steamer vessel to
microwave oven, and resume the cycle.
