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

convection heat and microwave energy

alternate automatically. Your oven has two

pre-programmed settings that make it easy

to cook with both convection heat and

microwave 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 refer to the section about

“Using the metal rack.”

•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

combination cooking.
