Combination microwave/convection

Sometimes combination microwave-convec- tion cooking is suggested to get the proper cooking results. It shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves

meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convec- tion heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. Your oven has two pre- programmed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and micro- wave energy automatically.

Helpful hints for combination cooking:

•Meats may be roasted directly on the Metal Rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When using the Metal Rack, please check your cookbook for information on proper use.

•Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

•When baking, check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE: During combination baking, some cookware may cause arcing when it comes in contact with the oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and the Metal Rack. If arcing occurs with other cookware, stop using it for combina- tion cooking.
