IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
Some foam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.
“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.
Use foil only as directed in this guide. 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" away from the sides of the oven.

THE 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, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
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.
