    ive just looked at a few sites and cant find a reference to an oven function.
    the word oven is often use to mean the unit, are you sure its actually a dedicated oven too, and not just one of the power levels?

    my microwave has a grill type element on the top you can use to crisp off food, but its still microwaved.

    If it has an oven function. It would be called a combi.

    I have googled it and there are no references to this being a combi oven.

    Look at the Bosch website: the HMT75M451B appears under Freestanding Microwaves, not under "Microwave Oven with Grill" nor under "Combination Microwaves".

    Previous posters are correct...

    I microwave the potatoes first then pop the in the oven to finish them so they're crispy. The benefit of a combi is that as it's smaller it requires less energy to heat the oven, and you can programme it to do this on one go.

    No- it must be that one- confused now as thought it had an oven function- must be wrong.
