KitchenAid KHMS155L Keep Warm, To Use Pan Heat, To Use Crisp or Sizzle, Feature PAD Touch

Crisp or Sizzle

The Pan Heat feature, combined with Crisp or Sizzle features, uses the Crisper Pan to brown, crisp, and pan-fry foods in the microwave oven. Pan Heat preheats the pan to its optimal temperature in approximately 3 minutes.

While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the pan very quickly from below to brown and crisp the food.

IMPORTANT: Pan Heat must be used before the other Crisp or Sizzle features are used.

■Use the handle to grasp and remove the Crisper Pan from the oven. Do not place the hot Crisper Pan directly on heat- sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.

■Do not use plastic utensils on the pan, as it becomes very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.

■Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.

■Do not use the pan in any other microwave oven or in a thermal oven.

■Always use the turntable as a support for the pan. Do not place the pan on the cooking rack.

■For best results, coat the pan lightly with cooking oil to make removing food and cleaning easier.

To Use Pan Heat:

1.Place empty Crisper Pan on the turntable and close the door.

2.Touch PAN HEAT once.

Pan will preheat for 3 minutes.
