• Use foil only as
directed in this manual.
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 over-
cooking, 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 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.
