WARNING!

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate
automatically under certain
conditions (see the Automatic
Fan section). Take care to
prevent the starting and
spreading of accidental cooking
fires while the vent fan is in use.
Clean the underside of the
microwave often. Do not
allow grease to build up on
the microwave or the fan
filters.
In the event of a grease fire
on the surface units below
the microwave oven, smother
a flaming pan on the surface
unit by covering the pan
completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Use care when cleaning the
vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as
lye-based oven cleaners,
may damage the filters.
When flaming foods under
the microwave, turn the vent
fan off. The fan, if operating,
may spread the flame.
Never leave surface units
beneath your microwave
oven unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite and spread if
the microwave vent fan is
operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and
use high heat on surface units
only when necessary.
