•Have installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.

•The exhaust fan in the oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan is operating, caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires.

•Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.
