GE convection micro confusion...

[Stevencoles]

We have a GE Profile model PVM 1790SR1SS micro covection oven obviously designed by rocket scientists. The instructions for operating the microwave and its operation are ok, but when you get to the covection and other combo features, it is really confusing with multiple steps, sequencing and buttons to get things to supposedly work. Our biggest issue is that when using the oven as an oven it does not appear that it possible to have it cook without the convection feature? If by chance someone has figured out if that is possible, would appreciate a tip on how to do it. Ultimately we have pretty much given up on trying to cook anything in the oven and have a very expensive microwave! The way the unit is mounted also makes it hard to remove hot food, especially anything that has any weight to it. If you are shopping and this unit is an option, would NOT recommend it. If you are a rocket scientist and have any tips on operation, please pass them along.
