3. Use the dial control to select a cooking time between 10 seconds
and 95 minutes.

Tips for combi operation
When cooking food with the combined setting of microwave-grill, you
should adhere to the following:
The cooking time for big and thick food items, such as roast pork, is
respectively longer than for small, lower food. Nevertheless, when
roasting, the opposite rule applies. The closer the food is to the
grill, the faster it will become brown. I.e., when preparing big joints
during combi operation, the roasting time is possibly shorter than for
smaller joints.
Convection
Convection enables you to cook food as in a traditional oven. The
microwave is not active. The heat is generated by a heating element on
the fan. We recommend preheating the oven to the correct temperature
before placing food inside.
Preheating
1. Press the CONVECTION button repeatedly to select the desired
temperature between 110°C and 200°C.
2. Press the START button.
NOTE:
•
Preheating is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes.
•
"PREH" is flashing in the display.
•
Once the desired temperature has been reached, beeps will
sound until you open the door or press the STOP/CANCEL
button. The countdown timer stops.
3. Open the door and place the food in the device.
Convection mode
4. Press the STOP/CANCEL button.
5. Press the CONVECTION button repeatedly to select the desired
temperature between 110°C and 200°C.
6. Use the knob to set the desired cooking time: between 2 minutes
(0H:02) and 9½ hours (9H:30).
7. Press the START button to start operation.
Microwave and convection combination mode
The device features 4 preset settings making cooking with convection
heat and microwave power easier.
1. Press the MICRO+CONVECTION button repeatedly to select a
desired temperature: 110, 140, 170 or 200°C.
2. Use the knob to set the desired cooking time: between 2 minutes
(0H:02) and 9½ hours (9H:30).
3. Press the START button to start.
Auto functions
Use the auto functions to cook certain amounts of foods automatically.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the STOP/CANCEL button.
2. Turn the knob clockwise and select the desired program. Choose
one of the settings given in the table below.
3. Press the CLOCK/WEIGHT button repeatedly to select the amount
of food.
4. Press the START button.

NOTE:
•
For programs 01 and 02 the display will show the number of serv-
ings and not the weight.
•
In program 07, we recommend cutting whole chickens in half and
directly placing them onto the glass plate.
•
During program 07, the appliance pauses with beeps reminding
you to flip over the food. During that interruption the fan continues
to run. Close the door and press the START button to continue
operation.
•
The results of automatic cooking programs depend on a variety of
factors (e.g. shape and size of the food, preferences regarding do-
neness). If dissatisfied with the cooking results, adjust the cooking
times individually.

Defrosting
Defrosting
Thanks to the Defrost program you can defrost frozen quicker.
NOTE:
•
After ⅔ of the time has passed, the appliance pauses with beeps
reminding you to flip over the food. During that interruption the fan
continues to run. Close the door and press the START button to
continue operation.
•
Since the microwaves always penetrate the food from the outside
in, larger pieces may not be fully defrosted in their centre. The
outer layers may already have started to cook.
•
Factor in a compensation time after the defrost program. This is a
standing period during which a temperature compensation takes
place through conduction of heat from the outside (defrosted)
to the inside (frozen). You can leave the food in the switched off
appliance or outside the appliance during the compensation time.
The compensation time should be at least as many minutes as the
defrost time in the microwave. It depends on the condition of the
food.
•
You can shorten the compensation times by e.g. separating small
pieces of meat or crumbling the remaining frozen chunks of mince
after the defrosting time. For sliced bread or sausage, separate the
slices during the compensation time.
