2.  Dual-2 - Top grill with microwave.
3.  Dual-3 - Bottom grill with microwave.

To select the dual cook mode required, enter the

•  When browning foods in a deep container, 

place on the turntable or low rack.

•  Temperature measurements taken whilst the 

oven is in convection mode will differ from the 
displayed level. This is due to the grill elements 
turning on and off in order to regulate the 
oven temperature. This will not affect the 
cooking results as long as the operation manual 
and cook book are followed correctly.

will continue working for a short time to 
lower the temperature of the electrical
