IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
• Use foil only as directed in
this manual. When using
foil in the microwave
oven, keep the foil at least
1" (2.5 cm) away from the
sides of the oven.
THE VENT
FAN
The fan will operate
automatically under
certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan feature).
Take care to prevent the
starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires
while the vent fan is in use.

not allow grease to build
up on the microwave or
the fan filters.

• Plastic cookware—Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-
safe plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and
may soften or char if
subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware
could ignite.
• 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.

Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use them
in strict compliance with
the cookware
manufacturer's
recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty
containers.
3 Do not permit children to
use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.
• When preparing flaming
foods under the
microwave, turn the vent
fan on.
• 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.
