Combination Cooking
Your oven has three methods of cooking by Combination.
1. Convection and Microwave
2. Grill and Microwave
3. TURBO-BAKE and Microwave
COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks the food
quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both gives the traditional browning and crispness.
All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in
1/2 - 2/3
of the
conventional cooking time.
There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION programs, EXCEPT when cooking
pastry.
It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins and foil containers on COMBINATION
but they must be placed directly onto the Metal Tray on the Glass Turntable. They
must not be placed directly onto the Low Wire Rack or High Wire Rack or arcing will
occur.
If you experience arcing, which is when you see blue sparks or hear crackling noises,
the metal container is unsuitable or you have insufficient food in the oven. You should
stop the program immediately and change the container or re-program to
CONVECTION only.
To cook successfully by COMBINATION you should always use a minimum of 200 g
(7 oz) food. Small quantities should be cooked by Convection, Grill or TURBO-BAKE.
NOTE: THE ENAMEL SHELF CANNOT BE USED FOR COMBINATION COOKING.
