Sizzle Pan and Handle

The Sizzle Pan, with a nonstick surface and a detachable handle, 
has been specially designed for microwave use, and is ideal for 
pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the oven. The Sizzle Pan is 
also used as a drip pan for grilling. 

Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge 
of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.

See “Assistance or Service” to order replacement parts.

Grill Rack

The circular grill rack is designed for grilling in the oven. Place the 
grill rack securely on Sizzle Pan, the Sizzle Pan on the turntable, 
and position food on grill rack. See “Assistance or Service” to 
order replacement parts.

OVEN CONTROL

A. Light sensor

Display/Touch Screen

The display/touch screen functions as both a display and a 
menu-driven touch screen control. 

Display

The display screen shows the time of day and Home screen 
when the oven is not in use. If the time of day is hidden (see 
“Clock” section), “Home” will appear in its place. 

During programming, the display screen displays function 
menus, servings and weights, preparation instructions, and 
cooking time/power settings. During a cooking cycle, it counts 
down the remaining time, and gives prompts to stir or turn food.
