Sizzle Pan
The Sizzle Pan menu has 8 main food categories, plus a shortcut
to Manual Sizzle Pan (see “Time/Power Cooking” section).
Sizzle 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 Sizzle Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty
pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating
cycle is complete, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the
food to the Sizzle Pan. The oven may prompt you to turn over the
food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
Oven cavity and door will become very hot during the Sizzle
Pan cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
The Sizzle Pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp
and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot Sizzle
Pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.
Use detachable handle when handling hot Sizzle Pan.
Do not use plastic utensils on the Sizzle 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 Sizzle Pan in any other microwave oven or in a
standard thermal oven.
Do not place the Sizzle Pan on the cooking rack or the grill
rack. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.
For best results, coat the Sizzle 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: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “More
Choices,” and then “Sizzle Pan.” Follow screen prompts to make
your selections, prepare the food and/or Sizzle Pan for cooking,
and start the cycle.
Steam Cook
The Steam Cook menu has 4 main food categories, plus a
shortcut to Manual Steam Cook (see “Time/Power Cooking”
section).
Steam Cook is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
steam your food.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
Use the provided steamer vessel and its lid. Place 1¹⁄₄ cups
(295 mL) water in the base, place food in the insert, place the
insert in the base and cover.
Do not remove the lid while the vessel is inside the oven, as
the rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.

or pot holders when handling.
To avoid scratching, use plastic utensils.
Do not overfill. One-half full is recommended.
Follow directions on the display.
To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “More
