Crisp

The Crisp feature uses the broil element and microwaves to crisp and brown foods. Crisp can be used to saute meats and vegetables, pan-fry bacon and eggs, and to crisp and brown pizza and french fries. Always use the crisper pan. See the “Crisper Pan and Handle” section before using.

■The crisper pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts or detachable handle to grasp and remove the pan from the oven.

■Do not place hot crisper pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.

■Do not use plastic utensils on the crisper 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 crisper pan in any other microwave oven or in a standard thermal oven.

■Do not place the crisper pan on the convection rack or the baking tray. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.

■Always use the turntable “On” option when crisping (default setting).
