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″ away from the sides of

the oven.

•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.

Follow these guidelines:

1Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.

2Do not microwave empty containers.

3Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

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.

•Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the

fan filter.

8

•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 filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

•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.
