Combination

Cooking

Your oven has a combination cooking
feature which allows you to cook food
with

heater

and

microwave

at the same

time or alternately. This generally means
it takes less time to cook your food.

You can set three kinds of micro power
level(20%, 40% and 60%) in combi
mode.

In the following example I will show you how to programme your oven with micro power 180W(20%) and grill
for a cooking time of 25 minutes.
