2. COMBI COOKING
The COMBI COOKING feature enables a combination of microwave power with grill or convection. COMBI means to 
cook by microwave power and grill power or convection power alternately. The combination cooking reduces cooking 
time and provides a crisp, brown finish giving you the convenience of fast cooking with a traditional appetising 
appearance.

There are 3 choices for the combination as shown in the chart below:

4 times

C-1

5 times

C-2

6 times

C-3

up on the display

2.  Select C-2 by pressing 

the button repeatedly 
(4 times) or turn the

NOTES for GRILL and COMBI COOKING:
•  It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
•  When browning food place it either on a rack or in a deep container on the turntable. Use the rack for grilling 

small items of food  such as bacon, gammon and teacakes.

• You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the first time. This is normal and not a 

sign that the oven is not operating correctly. To avoid this problem, when fi rst using the oven, heat the oven 
without food for 20 minutes on grill mode.

IMPORTANT: During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window.

Your oven can be used as a conventional oven using the convection facility and 10 pre-set oven temperatures. 
Preheating is recommended for better results. The temperature can be chosen from 140°C to 230°C in 10°C 
increments.

For each settable temperature there is an index for the temperature in the display e.g. 170°C = fourth bar. During the 
preheat this display will fl ash and the increasing bars on the display will indicate the preheat process.
Example 1: To cook with preheating
Suppose you want to preheat to 200°C and cook for 25 minutes at 200°C.

1. Press the CONV.(°C) button once 

and the temperature indicator will 
fl ash on the display. Additionally the 
convection indicator will light up.

2.  Enter the desired preheat temperature  

by  pressing the CONV.(°C) button 
(6 times) or turn the ENTRY dial until 
the display shows 200. 

3. Press the START/+1min/ENTER button 

to confi rm the temperature.

4. Press the START/+1min/ENTER 

button once more to start preheating. 
When the preheated temperature 
has been reached an audible signal 
will sound twice to remind you to put 
the food into the oven. The current 
temperature will fl ash in the display. 

5.  Open the door, place the food inside 

the oven and close the door. Use the 
ENTRY dial to input the cooking time 
(25 minutes).

6. Press the START/+1min/ENTER button 

to start cooking. The display will count 
down through the set cooking time. 
The convection indicator will fl ash.

In the common environment, the average temperature of the oven cavity is within ±15% of its rated value.   
This is only as a reference.

Example 2: To cook without preheating
Suppose you want to cook at 230°C for 20 minutes.

1.  Open the door, place the 

food inside the oven and 
close the door. Press the 
CONV.(°C) button once 
and the temperature 
indicator will fl ash on the 
display. Additionally the 
convection indicator will 
light up. 

2.  Enter the desired 

temperature 
by pressing the 
CONV.(°C) button 
(9 times) or turn 
the ENTRY dial 
until the display 
shows 230. 

3. Press the 

START/+1min/
ENTER button 
to confi rm the 
temperature.

4. Use the 

ENTRY dial 
to input the 
cooking time 
(20 minutes).

5. Press the START/

+1min/ENTER 
button to start 
cooking.

NOTES: 
1.  If you are using the pre-heat function, the cooking time cannot be input until the preheating temperature 

arrives. When the temperature arrives, door must be opened to input the cooking time.

2.  The convection heater will stop automatically; if there is no input for the cooking time within 5 minutes. An 

audible signal will sound fi ve times to remind you and the LED will display the time of day, if the clock has 
been set. If the clock has not been set, the display will only show “0:00”.

3.  When the oven is preheating, the turntable should be in the oven. During preheating and convection cooking, 

you will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off . This is completely normal and will not aff ect the cooking.

4.  Food manufacturers instructions are only a guideline, so cooking times may need to be adjusted accordingly.
5.  After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature of 

the electrical and mechanical parts.

6.  You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using convection for the fi rst time. This is normal and is not 

a sign that the oven is not working correctly. To avoid this problem, when fi rst using the oven, heat the oven 
without food for 20 minutes on grill and then at convection 230°C.

IMPORTANT: During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window.
