Danby DMW162W-OTR, DMW162BL-OTR owner manual The Vent Fan

Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

Plastic cookware-Plastic cook- ware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even

microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking con- ditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to over-cooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict com- pliance with the cookware manu- facturer’s recommendations.

2 Do not microwave empty con- tainers.

3 Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without com- plete supervision.

THE VENT FAN

Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cook- ing 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 flam- ing 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 may damage the filters.

•When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the 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 ade- quate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
