A variety of microwave power settings that are suitable for different types of food and food preparation are available. The compact oven starts at 90 and goes up to 900 watts. Use the NEFF user friendly control element to select the type of heating and other functions.

Setting the microwave to combi-mode: Different types of heating are available: HotAir, CircoRoasting, large grill area and small grill area. These types of heating are suitable for combining with the microwave.

When you’re wanting space and functionality, this two-in-one oven is just right. Defrosting, microwaving, baking and roasting – it’s all part of the package. You can thaw out your casserole and cook it afterwards, quickly bake your puff pastries, and roast your rotisserie-style chicken to tender goodness. All in one convenient space.

Depending on the model, NEFF ovens with microwaves offer additional functions:

Dual cleaning options:

• Pyrolytic cleaning programmes - just let the oven interior clean itself.
• EasyClean - the quick and easy option for day to day maintenance.
• HotAir - Takes your baking to new levels thanks to our optimal heat distribution.
• Baking and Roasting Assistant with Automatic Programmes - the duo for optimal baking at your command.

Modern microwaves offer many exciting features that can make cooking with these appliances a joy. But what are some of the latest to look out for?

• LED display: LED display panels offer detailed and precise information about how long’s left on your microwave programme. They also make choosing the correct settings easy.
• LED lighting: Bright LED lights inside your microwave let you see what’s happening inside. This can be useful for ovens with an integral microwave since you can see the progress of baked and grilled foods that might overcook.
• Automatic programmes: If you aren’t sure how long to cook something, microwaves with automatic programmes can be helpful. Simply select the dish you’re trying to cook, confirm with a touch, and press start. Your intelligent automatic appliance will do all the hard work for you.
• Shift Control: A control pad that lets you swipe quickly from one programme to another. With just a touch, you can change mode, find out if your microwave oven is hot enough, and see how long is left on your timer.
• Self-Cleaning: Make cleaning your kitchen easier than ever with a microwave that helps you along. Self-cleaning microwaves can reach a high temperature, helping loosen splashes and spills so you can wipe them away without a struggle.
• Defrost: Many microwaves offer a defrost programme, which can be invaluable if you want to cook something frozen at the last minute. These programmes run the appliance at low power, bringing the temperature up quickly and safely. That means you can enjoy delicious, nourishing meals without waiting.

The NEFF range includes four compact ovens with microwave functionality as well as one pure microwave (with no oven functionality).
