CombinationCooking

Combination microwave-convection cooking shortens the cooking time for foods that normally require long periods of time to cook. It alternates between convection heat and microwave energy. Combination cooking also leaves meats juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside.

The microwave oven has a setting that makes it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave energy automatically.

■The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during the combination cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.

■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use metal cookware or utensils during combination cooking.

■Meats may be roasted directly on the convection rack. Use Drip Pan to catch the drippings.

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

■Check for doneness after cooking time has ended. If not completely done, let stand in microwave oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.

To Combination Cook:

1.Place food in microwave-safe, ovenproof cookware on the convection rack and close door.

2.Touch COMBI.

3.Touch TEMP/POWER “up” or “down” arrow pads to set cooking temperature other than the default temperature of 325ºF.

The microwave power level is set at 40%, and cannot be adjusted.

4.Touch HOUR or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to set cooking time. (The SEC pad is unavailable during this function.)

5.Touch START.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.

6.Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
