A WARNING!
SAFE TY PRE CA UTIONS
Do not operate the oven without the oven
rack (turntable) in place. The oven rack
(turntable) must be unrestricted so it
can turn.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact any interior area of the oven; allow •
sufficient time for cooling first.
Cook meat and poult U thoroughly-
meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F, and poulu T to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of
180 ° F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
Keep the oven Dee from grease buildup.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(turntable).
ARCING
Arcing can occur during both speedeooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in
the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
• Metal cookware used during either
speedcook or microwave cooking (except
for the pans provided with the oven).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,
or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
• Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
• Use foil only as recommended in
this guide.
THE
VENT
FAN
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see the AutomatieFan
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 oven often. Do
not allow grease to build up on the oven
or the fan filters.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface
units below the 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 preparing flaming foods under the
oven, turn the vent fan on.
Never leave surface units beneath your
oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if the
oven vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate
sized cookware and use high heat on
surface units only when necessary.
