This Is What Your New Combination
Microwave Oven Can Do For You
1. Microwave Operation
By using the microwave facility in your new combination
microwave oven you can, for example, quickly heat up ready-
prepared meals or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in no
time at all.
The microwave oven is equally good at defrosting food.
Sometimes, however, it is better to combine the microwave
with convection heating or grilling (combined operation). You
can then cook the food rapidly and brown it at the same time.
Cooking times are generally much shorter than in conventional
food preparation.
2. Combined Operation
(Microwave With Convection
Or Grill)
By combining two modes of operation the benefits of your oven
are cleverly linked together.
You are able to choose between
• Microwave + convection (ideal for joints of meat, poultry,
puddings, bread and cakes) and
• Microwave + grill (ideal for pizzas, snacks, quick fry-ups,
joints, poultry, chicken legs, kebabs, Welsh rarebit and
cooking au gratin).
Using the combination facility you can cook and brown food at
the same time.
The advantage is that the convected heat or the heat from the
grill quickly seals the pores in the outer layers of the food. The
microwaves ensure a short and gentle cooking period. The
juices are preserved inside the food and the outside is crisp.
3. Convection Operation
You can also use convection without microwave.
The result is like using a conventional oven. The circulating air
quickly heats up the external parts of the food without drying
up the meat juices and the foods.
This sealing process means that the meals remain tasty and cook
in a shorter time than with conventional ovens with upper and
lower heaters.
4. Grill Operation
This appliance comes with a quartz grill above the cooking area.
It can be used as a conventional grill without microwave. You
can quickly bake or grill dishes. It’s also suitable for steaks,
chops and cakes.
