GE JVM230, JVM231 Save These Instructions, The Exhaust Hood, Optional Accessories

•‘‘Boilable’’ cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented

as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands

and face.

The Exhaust Hood

•Have it 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 while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

—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.

—In the event of a grease fire,

smother flaming pan on surface

unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to build up on the hood or the filter.

—Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

—When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
