Use foil only as directed
in this guide. TV dinners
may be microwaved in

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 usefid, 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:
Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use
them in strict compliance
with the cookware
manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Do not microwave emp .ty
containers.
Do not permit children
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supe~ision.
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 filters.
¯
In the event of a grease
fire on the surface nnits
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 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
automafc fan operation,
use adequ~ite sized
cookxcare and use high
heat on surface units
only when necessary.
