Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves that cause water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Built-in safety features prevent radiation leakage and exposure. Auto shut-off stops operation when the door is opened. Door interlocks cut power when opened. The reflective interior also contains microwaves. These mechanisms ensure safe cooking by keeping microwaves inside the oven.

The grill feature utilizes direct radiant heat from the oven's upper heating element. Temperatures can be adjusted up to 210°C. Lower temperatures of 180-200°C are ideal for grilling poultry to get a nicely browned exterior without charring. Higher temperatures of 200-210°C help obtain good browning and crisping on meats, sausages, and pork.

The convection function circulates hot air around food using a fan and heating elements, enabling fast uniform baking and browning. The temperature is adjustable from 80-210°C. Lower temperatures of 140-180°C work well for baking goods like cakes and cookies. Higher temperatures help brown and crisp the exterior of foods like chicken, steaks, and chops.

Combination cooking optimizes using preset microwave and convection/grill power ratios. For example, combination mode G1 applies 30% microwave power and 70% convection grill. G2 mode uses 55% microwave and 45% convection grill for faster cooking with browning.

This function allows programming up to 4 sequences of cooking modes, power levels, times, and temperatures. For instance, defrosting with 20% microwave power for 5 minutes could automatically be followed by baking at 180°C for 30 minutes.

The rotisserie function rotates food continuously while cooking for self-basting results. The temperature can be preset up to 210°C with variable speed motors to ensure food cooks evenly from all sides.
