Combination Cooking
In addition to Convection plus grill cooking, your oven has three other methods
of cooking by Combination.
1. Convection and Microwave
2. Grill and Microwave
3. Convection, Grill and Microwave
COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many
foods. The microwave power cooks them
quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both gives the
traditional browning and crispness.
All this happens simultaneously resulting in
most foods being cooked in ½-
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. They
must be placed directly on the anti spark ring,
on the wire shelf. They must not be placed
directly onto the wire shelf 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 (7oz)
food. Small quantities should be cooked by
Convection, Grill or Convection plus Grill.
NOTE: THE ENAMEL SHELF CANNOT BE
USED FOR COMBINATION COOKING.
