IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

ARCING If you see arcing, press the OFF pad and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

•Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

•The metal shelf not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall.

•Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

•Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.

•Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

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 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, cookie sheet or flat tray.

•Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, 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 adequate-sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
