Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. Warm Hold can be used by itself or after an automatic cooking cycle. Opening the door before the cycle ends will cancel the function.

To Use:

Put hot cooked food in the oven. Cover plates of food and foods that were cooked covered. Pastries, pies, turnovers, etc. should remain uncovered.

1.Touch KEEP WARM.

2.Touch START.

“WARM” will appear on the display and the warm time will countdown.

When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, 4 end- of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound every minute.

3.Touch CANCEL/OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

To Set at end of cycle: Touch KEEP WARM while setting a cooking cycle before touching START, or during cooking. When the last cooking cycle is over, 2 tones will sound, and then “WARM” will appear in the display.

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 410°F in approx imately 3 minutes.

While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the pan very quickly from below to brown and crisp the food. Microwaves heat the pan through the active layer at the bottom of the pan.

The active layer is designed to stop absorbing microwaves at 410ºF (210ºC). The Crisper Pan reaches that temperature in approx imately 3 minutes. Use the pan as quickly as possible after it is heated for optimum temperature.

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 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 Crisper Pan lightly with cooking oil to make removing food and cleaning easier.

To Use Pan Heat:

1.Touch PAN HEAT once.

Pan will preheat for 3 minutes.
