Skillette Feature (Pan Brown); Soften & Melt - Kenmore 665.63792 Use & Care Manual

The Skillette feature uses the Skillette pan to brown, crisp, and
pan-fry foods in the oven. The Skillette pan reaches its optimal
cooking temperature in approximately 3 minutes. Use the pan as
quickly as possible after it is heated for best results.
While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the
Skillette pan very quickly from below to brown and crisp the food.
• Oven cavity and door will become very hot during grill
element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
The Skillette pan will become very hot. Use the handle to
grasp and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot
Skillette pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may
occur.
• Do not use plastic utensils on the 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 pan in any other microwave oven or in a
thermal oven.
• Do not place the pan on the rectangular cooking rack or
circular grill rack. Always use the turntable as a support for
the pan.
• For best results, coat Skillette pan lightly with cooking oil to
make removing food and cleaning easier.
