9 Oven vents
The oven vents are located above and below the oven cavity as well as at the sides and the top of the appliance frame. Warm air may be released from the top and bottom vents before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from these vents, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block any vents, since they are important for air circulation.
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vents. The fan may also run after the oven is off.
The convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened.
The oven light turns off to save energy after one minute with the door open. To turn the light back on, close the door and open it again.
You can activate a function by briefly touching the corresponding touch key. Each time you touch a key a short beep will sound. A long beep will tell you that you have made an invalid input.
The display gives you information on the current settings of your appliance. Blinking display elements indicate that an input is required.
Metal tray turntable
Food which particularly requires a lot of heat from underneath, such as pizza and chicken nuggets, can be prepared directly on the metal tray turntable.
The turntable can turn clockwise or counterclockwise. It is dishwasher safe and cut resistant. You can cut pizza into slices on the turntable itself.
Place the metal tray turntable on the drive in the center of the cooking compartment. Ensure that it is properly fitted.
Wire rack
The wire rack can be used with the recess facing up 
or down 
.
Use it facing down for Speed Chef, Convection, Keep Warm and to fit larger dishes into the oven cavity.
Use it facing up (as shown) for Broil and Convection Broil.
Ceramic tray

Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside.
The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks are generated.

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.(Constant stirring is not necessary.)
Turning
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Placing food
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Arranging food
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Letting food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
Wrapping foods
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450° F 100 to 230°C).
Notes
CAUTION
The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.
Metal Pans:
Recommended for all types of baked products, especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:
Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
Note: Always use the convection rack when using the Convection mode.
The appliance must be turned off.
1. Touch Convection.
The convection symbol 
: lights up. start/enter and the default temperature 325°F (160°C) are blinking on the display. The time of day will be permanently displayed during convection cooking.
2. Change the temperature using the number keys and touch Start/Enter.

Part | Recommendations |
| Oven cavity | Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. To help loosen baked–on food parti- cles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes. For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. |
| Wire rack | Wash with soapy water. Rinse thor- oughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher. |
| Metal turntable tray | Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray. Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. |
| Ceramic tray | Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. |
| Door seal | Wipe with damp cloth. |
| Door glass | Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operat- ing the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. |
| Painted surfaces | Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. |
| Stainless steel surfaces/ exterior surfaces | Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fan- tastik® or Formula 409® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. |
| Plastic & Controls | When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. |
| Printed areas (words & numbers) | Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents. |
