Know before you buy
With its convection cooking capabilities, this unit can handle baking and roasting tasks similar to a standard oven. It is an excellent secondary oven for holiday meals or smaller dishes, though it may not replace a full-sized range for large-scale baking.
The Air Fry function uses a combination of the convection heating element and the fan to circulate hot air, creating a crispy texture on food. Unlike standard microwave cooking, which uses electromagnetic waves to heat moisture, this mode mimics the results of a deep fryer or convection oven.
Humidity-sensing technology monitors the moisture levels inside the microwave during the cooking process. It automatically adjusts the power and time to prevent overcooking or drying out your food, ensuring consistent results without manual guesswork.
Yes, the PrintProof stainless steel finish is specifically designed to resist smudges and fingerprints. It is much easier to keep clean than traditional stainless steel, requiring only a quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its appearance.
The ThinQ app allows you to monitor cooking progress, receive notifications when a cycle is complete, and control settings remotely. It also supports the Scan-to-Cook feature, which sends specific cooking instructions directly to the microwave when you scan the barcode on compatible frozen food packaging.
The SmoothTouch glass controls are integrated into the surface, meaning there are no physical buttons or crevices where crumbs and grease can collect. A simple wipe-down is all that is needed to keep the control panel looking pristine.
