I used to have a range that had a microwave feature but I was way too
scared to use it. Is this the type of oven you're talking about or do
you have a microwave oven with a convection feature? I've never seen an
appliance like that. If so, my guess is that it simply has a integrated
blower and heater element and there would be no need to do any
adjustment to the temperature. I'd sure be interested in a microwave
oven with a heated blower. Where can I get one? Thanks.

Yes. AFAIK.

Why not? Convection oven is convection oven, right?

Mine is a Sears Kenmore Elite. Don't have procuct numner handy but it's a
countertop combination MW/convection oven - uses either feature alone or
together. Has a bunch of nice features.

Thanks for the info. It looks great. If I had one of those, I would have
baked a cake and roasted a chicken already. One of these could be in my
future! Have fun with your new toy.

I like the feature on mine, where you can adjust the time while on. The odd
thing, when I first started using it, it only adjusts in 15 second
increments, but after it's on you can add or subtract seconds. Also the
double tap set timer which starts operation.

Kenmore elite
I just read the quick sheet guide. It says,, reduce temp 25 degrees to
prevent over browning on baked goods. ! It also says,, reduce cooking time
by 25 degrees in combo mode. Combo alternates between turbo and microwave.
It says nothing about reducing the time needed to cook in turbo oven, but
everybody should know that fact.

I don't seem to have a Quick Guide in my manual. Either we have different
manuals or I'm missing it. Where in the manual?

Except me. The oven to me is merely a tool. I'm not into cooking except
to make quick simple meals for myself.

I bought my slash sears, at a discount house. Less than half price. There
was no manual, but I found a quick guide sheet in one of the floor models.
I had to buy a manual separate. If you want a sheet copy, email me. I would
first do a search.

Thanks for the offer but between my manual and the convection info from
you and others here I think I now have all I need.
