Tell me about the microwave/oven combo

07-09-2012, 09:18 PM

Working on a deal for a new to me trailmanor. Owner says instead of a regular oven, it has a toaster oven, microwave, convection oven combo.

Can anyone chime in and tell me about this? Things such as size, ease of use, etc. One of the things that thrills me about the trailmanor is the ability to bake....will I still be able to? Is it tiny like a regular toaster oven?

Mine is tiny. My booklet does not say convection though so this one your looking at may be bigger. I can bake two cookies or two biscuits at a time in mine in a round cake pan. Mine has a turn table just like my microwave at home does. No way to have a square or rectangle pan in it that I could find. I just bought a Camp Chef oven to use out doors and it has two racks and can hold a 9 by 13 inch pan.

This is the one that was originally installed in our 2010 TM.

We made getting it replaced with a gas oven a condition of the sale and they just gave us the microwave.

Not a great microwave(low power -- only 650Watts), never have used the toaster/bake/grill part. Ok for free but would not pay money for it. I do not know if the factory is still using this model.

That is the same one I have and no where on my paperwork does it save convection oven.

On a side note...my husband re-installed it last week. We doubt it will ever move out of position again it is now braced all the way around it with wood on the sides and those cooler stabilizers on the back.The cabinet wood trim holds it in place in the front.

Your correct

just checked the manual, uses terms like Bake/toast/grill. Corrected my post above-- thanks!.

Also looking in the manual, noticed that the turntable is missing in mine -- only turntable support is there.

I have also wondered about the label on the back of this microwave that says

Quote:

NOT FOR BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

Have to wonder whats up with that.
