WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■Do not operate the oven without the oven rack (turntable) in place. The oven rack (turntable) must be unrestricted so it can turn.
■During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■Do not store anything directly on top of the oven surface when the oven is in operation.
■Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F, and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor, walls and oven rack (turntable).
ARCING | Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the |
| CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem. |
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
■Metal cookware used during either speedcook or microwave cooking (except for the pans provided with the oven).
■Metal, such as
■Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the oven.
■Use foil only as recommended in this manual.
THE VENT FAN
■The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see the Automatic Fan section). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
■Clean the underside of the oven often. Do not allow grease to build up on the oven or the fan filters.
■In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the 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 oven, turn the vent fan on.
■Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the oven vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
