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, 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 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.
