This crusty plate allows you to brown food not only on the top with the grill,
but also the bottom of the food turns crispy and brown due to the high
temperature of the crusty plate. Several items which you can prepare on the
crusty plate can be found in the chart (see next page).
The crusty plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
1.
Place the crusty plate directly on the turntable and
preheat it with highest Microwave-Grill-Combination

instructions in the chart.
Always use oven gloves to take out the crusty plate, as will become
very hot.
2.
Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as bacon and
eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.

plate.
Use plastic accessories to avoid scratches on the surface of the crusty
plate or remove the food from the plate before cutting.
