I took my Sylvania out of the RV and worked on it at home to be on the safe side. As I previously posted I found a short in the upper element connection. As well I ran the Roast function and found that it operates the microwave AND the convection elements but not at the same time. They run alternatively. I think this will reduce cook times as the Apollo Half Time oven did. However unlike the Apollo there are no suggested cook times in the Sylvania manual. The Apollo in our '07 Monty worked well; I should have had it switched into our '09 as my DW wanted. The Sylvania is really bottom line and has had several problems. We are on our second one and I have made two repairs to it as well as trying to solve the overheating problem.
