Combination 2. Grill and Microwave
Guidelines
• Food is always cooked UNCOVERED.
• To turn food just pull down door, remove the
accessories, turn the food, return to the
oven, close the door and press START pad.
The oven will continue to countdown the
remaining cooking time.• After Grilling it is important that the Grill 
accessories are removed for cleaning 
before re-use and that the oven walls and 
floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in hot 
soapy water to remove any grease. It is not 
necessary to clean the back of the oven 
which has a catalytic self clean lining. DO 
NOT PUT THE SHELVES IN THE 
DISHWASHER. Food should be placed 
directly onto the wire shelf in
the upper or lower shelf 
position. The Glass Dish can
be placed underneath to
catch any drips.
When cooking fish or small
items, food can be placed
directly in the Glass Dish on
the wire shelf.
