TIPS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING
This section gives you instructions
to operate each
combination
cooking function.
Please read these
instructions
carefully. Sometimes combination
microwave-convection
cooking is suggested
to get the
best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time
for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This
cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside
and crispy on the outside. In combination
cooking,
the convection
heat and microwave
energy alternate
automatically.
Your oven has two preprogrammed
settings that make it easy to use combination
cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
COMBINATION
COOKING
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack
provided with your oven. Use the metal tray/drip
pan
to catch drippings
and grease.
2. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
3. Less tender
cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized
using oven cooking bags.
4. When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely
done, let stand in oven
for a few minutes to complete cooking.
5. When checking
food for doneness during cooking,
carefully
remove food, rack and drip tray (if used)
from the oven and close oven door to prevent
excessive heat loss.
6. "OVEN HOT" will appear in the display when the
oven door is opened during cooking.
7. If the temperature
has dropped while the door is
open, "CLOSE DOOR" will appear in the display.
To clear, close the door and touch Enter/Start
pad.
PRECAUTIONS
,
2.
All cookware
used for combination
cooking must be
both microwave-safe
and ovenproof.
During combination
baking, some baking cookware
may cause arcing when it comes in contact with
the oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a
discharge of electricity
that occurs when microwaves
come in contact with metal.
3. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof
dish between the
pan and the metal rack.
4. If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination
cooking.
