Simmer Cook

The Simmer Cook menu has 4 food categories, plus a shortcut to
Manual Simmer Cook (see "Time/Temp/Power Cooking" section).
Dried Pasta
Fresh Pasta
Simmer Cook is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
simmer your food.
See "Cook Method Chart" for food item details.
Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear
on the display.
Use the provided steamer vessel dish and lid, or a
microwavable dish with a loose-fitting lid.
Do not use plastic wrap as a cover during the Simmer Cook
cycle.
Do not remove the lid while the dish is still in the oven, as the
rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
To Use: Touch "Cook Method" on Main Menu, then touch "More
Choices," and then "Simmer Cook." Follow screen prompts to
make your selections, prepare your food for simmering, and start
the cycle.
Simmering Pasta
The water will need to boil before adding the pasta. Place the
dish of water, covered, in the oven and begin the cycle. When the
water boils, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the pasta.
Using oven mitts, gently remove the covered dish of boiling
water, add the pasta, recover, place the dish back in the oven and
continue the cycle.
Simmering Rice
The sensor determines when the water starts to boil, and figures
the simmer time, which will begin counting down in the display.

Sizzle Pan

The Sizzle Pan menu has 11 food categories, plus a shortcut to
Manual Sizzle Pan (see "Time/Temp/Power Cooking" section).
Cheese Sticks Fish
Egg Hash Brown
French Fries Meat
French Toast Nuts
Sizzle Pan function uses microwaves and the grill element.
Microwaves quickly heat the pan, while the grill element browns
(or crisps) the food from above.
For best results, the Sizzle Pan should be preheated. The Sizzle
Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the 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.
See "Cook Method Chart" for food item details.
Oven cavity and door will become very hot during the Broil
cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
The Sizzle Pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp

standard thermal oven.
Do not place the Sizzle Pan on the grill rack or the convection
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 until the cycle is over.
