Combination Auto Roast
Auto Roast is a combination function which is similar to combination temperature cooking, using both microwave and convection cooking in conjunction with the temperature probe. However, the Auto Roast feature eliminates most of the steps necessary to program combination temperature cooking. Instead, you can set the entire cooking program by selecting just one Auto Roast code.
The food is placed in a glass dish on a trivet for cooking during Auto Roast. To select a code from 1
to 8 see Auto Roast Guide on this page.
