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 cheese sandwiches. Always use the crisper pan. See
the “Crisper Pan and Handle” section before using.

spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange food on crisper pan,
and place pan on turntable.

minutes and seconds. The time can be set up to 90 minutes.

CRISPING CHART

Broil
The Broil feature uses the broil element to cook and brown 1 to
4 small pieces of food at a time. Always use the broiling grid. The
Crisper Pan may be used with the Broil function to catch
drippings from the food. See “Grids” section before using.
Avoid opening the door often.
For even browning, turn food over halfway through cooking.
Before Broiling:
The turntable hub must be removed to prevent the turntable from
rotating during broiling. See “Turntable” section for hub location.
Remove the turntable, lift out the hub, and then replace the
turntable on the support. The turntable must be in place during
broiling, but it should not rotate.
To Broil:
1. Preheat the broil element by touching BROIL and setting a
broil time of 2-3 minutes.
2. After preheating, place food on the grid and position the grid
on the turntable so that all of the food is directly under the
broil element.
3. Touch BROIL.
4. Touch the number pads to enter a length of time to broil in
minutes and seconds, up to 90 minutes.
5. Touch START.
The “USE GRID” prompt will appear in the upper oven display
for 4 seconds, then the display will count down the cook
time.
Time may be added during cooking by touching EASY

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.
