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).
