To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity (continued):
- Test dinnerware or cookware before
using.
To test a dish for safe use, put it
into the oven with a cup of water beside
it. Cook at 100% Cook Power for one
minute.
If the dish gets hot and water
stays cool, do not use it.
Some dishes
(melamine, some ceramic dinnerware,
etc.) absorb microwave energy, becom-
ing too hot to handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking in metal containers not
designed for microwave use could dam-
age the oven, as could containers with
hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
- If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off,
and disconnect the power cord or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
- Do not use the cavity for storage pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.

Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:
- Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental
fires from boilovers or spattering on the
surface unit could spread, especially if
the exhaust fan is operating.
- Do not allow grease and soil to build
up in the grease filter. Exhaust fan effi-
ciency will decrease and fire could
result. Clean often following the filter
cleaning instructions on page 47.
- Do not change the cooktop or oven
lights without turning the power off at
the main power supply (see page 48).
Electrical shock could result.
- Do not flame foods on a cooktop
surface below this unit. The fan, if
operating, could spread the flame and
cause personal injury or property
damage.

Use care when cleaning the vent hood
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such
as lye-based oven cleaners, could
damage filter.

precautions” starting on page 6.
