Operation & Hints
Use of Accessory:
Cakes, slices, desserts, etc. may be cooked in metal
cookware. Do not place a small amount of food in a
large metallic dish as arcing may occur.
Combination cooking is ideal for roasting meats,
poultry and cooking cakes, pastries and slices.
Combination cooking automatically alternates
between Convection and Microwave heating.
The advantage of Combination cooking is that it
gives you the browning of Convection and often
shortens the conventional cooking time. Time is also
reduced as preheating is not required.
To calculate cooking time start by cooking for
approximately
2
/
3
of the conventional cooking time
and add additional time If required. For examples of
recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the
recipe section.
Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable
for use when cooking on Combination. Cakes, slices,
desserts etc. may be cooked in metal cookware
providing there is suitable quantity of food to be
absorbed by the microwave heat. For example, do
not place a small amount of food in a large metallic
dish as arcing may occur.
When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be
cooked on the Ceramic Tray. When roasting meat,
the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack.
Sausages and rissoles may also be cooked in this
way.
Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish (less than
2 cm high) under the rack to catch any drips from
the roast. Alternately, elevate the roast on a roasting
rack in a baking dish and place directly on Ceramic
Tray.
