Using the Combination Function
Type of container to use
Combination programmes use microwaves and heat (CONVECTION or GRILL CONVECTION or GRILL or FAN GRILL) therefore you must choose the container carefully.
DO USE: Metal containers check they do not have jagged metal seams. Ceramics that do not have a metal pattern. Heat proof glass and china.
DO NOT USE:
Enamelled items (that may be chipped). Dishes with gold/metal pattern.Enamelled cast iron eg. Le Creuset. Any dish that’s not heatproof eg plastics, and cling film.
Accessories to use
The Wire Rack Shelf may be placed in either shelf position depending on the type of COMBINATION progamme in use. ie UPPER position for a GRILL COMBINATION or FAN GRILL COMBINATION and LOWER position for CONVECTION/GRILL CONVECTION COMBINATION. The Ceramic Insulating Tray must be used when food is placed in a metal container. NEVER place a metal container onto the Wire Rack Shelf if cooking by Combination as arcing may occur and damage the dish/oven.
Metal Containers
Avoid using large or deep sided metal containers. This will restrict the effectiveness of Microwaves and lengthen the heating time. Use
Draining Fat
When cooking meat joints and other fatty items, drain fat to avoid excessive splatter and smoke.
Preheating
For best results, place food in a preheated oven. (See page 26.)
Two level Cooking
DO NOT attempt to use the Wire Rack Shelf to cook on two levels.
Standing Time
As a COMBINATION setting uses Microwave energy to cook the food, it is important to allow a standing time for the food to finish cooking.
(See page 30.)
As a rough guide recipes cooking fish, vegetables, and small parts will require
NOTES:
1.If arcing occurs !
Stop oven immediately and continue to cook by Convection / Grill Convection / Fan Grill only and transfer food to a suitable container.
2.Check the food is cooked thoroughly at the end of the standing time.
