Browning Pan function uses microwaves, and sometimes the grill element. Microwaves quickly heat the pan, while the grill element browns (or crisps) the food from above.
Some Browning Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating cycle is complete, the microwave oven will stop and prompt you to add the food to the browning pan. The microwave oven may prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
■Microwave oven cavity and door will become very hot during the Browning Pan cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
■The browning pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp and remove the pan from the microwave oven. To avoid damage, do not place hot browning pan directly on heat- sensitive surfaces.
■Use detachable handle when handling hot browning pan.
■Do not use plastic utensils on the browning pan, as it becomes very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.
■To avoid scratching the browning pan, do not use metal utensils.
■To avoid damage to the browning pan, do not use in any other microwave oven or in a standard thermal oven.
■Do not place the browning pan on the grill rack or the convection rack. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.
■For best results, coat the browning pan lightly with cooking oil to make removing food and cleaning the pan easier.
■When the grill element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.
To Use: Place food on the turntable, and close the door. Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “Browning Pan,” and then follow screen prompts to make your selections, prepare the food and/or browning pan for cooking, and start the cycle.
