Helpful hints for combination cooking:

l Meats may be roasted directly on the Bi- Level Cooking Rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack, on the

1 turntable. When using the Bi-Level Cook- ing Rack, please check your cookbook for information on proper use.

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

l 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 baking utensils may cause arcing when they come 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 Bi-Level Cooking Rack. If arcing occurs with other baking utensils, stop using them for combination cooking.

Combinatlon 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.
