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.
