Browning Pan Feature

The Browning Pan feature uses the pan to brown, crisp, and pan- fry foods in the oven. The Browning Pan reaches its optimal cooking temperature in approximately 3 minutes. Use the pan as quickly as possible after it is heated for best results.

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

■Oven cavity and door will become very hot during grill element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.

■The Browning Pan will become very hot. Use the handle to grasp and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot Browning 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.

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

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