Combination
Cooking
The combination mode uses
both the speed of microwave
energy and browning of
convection cooking to yield
fast, high quality food.
Microwave cooking uses
high frequency energy
waves to heat the food.
When cooking, microwave
energy causes food
molecules to move rapidly.
This rapid movement
between the food
molecules creates heat,
which cooks the food.
POWER displays when
oven is generating
microwave energy for the
current cycle.
Convection cooking uses
the selected oven
temperature to bake and
brown foods. The
circulating air surrounds
food in an envelope of
evenly heated air.
Oven will maintain a
minimum convection
temperature of 65°C
(150°F) to ensure drier air
and more even cooking.
