Combination Cooking

 offers the best features of microwave energy and convection cooking. Microwaves 

cook food fast and convection circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully. Any oven temperature 

from 225°F to 375°F (110°C to 190°C) may be set.

For Best Results…

Always use the shelf when combination cooking.
The shelf is required for good air circulation and even browning. 

See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.

Cooking

 Place meat on a trivet in a glass dish to collect 

juices and prevent spattering. 

  For best roasting and browning results, whole 

roasts should be cooked in a glass dish placed 

directly on the oven shelf.

can leave out the trivet. If necessary, you may 

take out the shelf and place the dish directly on 

the turntable.
