• 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″ away
from the sides of the oven.
• Plastic cookware—Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-
safe plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and
may soften or char if
subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware
could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use
them in strict compliance
with the cookware
manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty
containers.
3 Do not permit children
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.
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 filter.
• 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 filter.
Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
• When preparing
flaming foods under
the microwave, turn the
vent 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.
