Microwave
Convection
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.
