WARNING

To avoid 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
