THE VENT FAN
Take care to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cook-
ing 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 flam-
ing 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 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 ade-
quate sized cookware and use
high heat on surface units only
when necessary.
Use foil only as directed in this
manual. 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 inch away from the sides
of the oven.
Plastic cookware-Plastic cook-
ware designed for microwave
cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking con-
ditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char
if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures
to over-cooking, the food and
cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe plastics
only and use them in strict com-
pliance with the cookware manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty con-
tainers.
3 Do not permit children to use
plastic cookware without com-
plete supervision.
