WARNING
To avoid 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 flaming foods under the microwave, turn the
vent fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the
flame.
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
