WARNING!
■
Do not operate the oven without the
oven rack (turntable) in place. The oven
rack (turntable) must be unrestricted so
it can turn.
■
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials
contact any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■
Do not store anything directly on top
of the oven surface when the oven is
in operation.
■
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—
meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F, and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F.
Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(turntable).
■
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see the
Automatic Fan
section). Take care to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cooking fires
while the vent fan is in use.
■
Clean the underside of the oven often.
Do not allow grease to build up on the
oven or the fan filters.
■
In the event of a grease fire on the
surface units below the 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
oven, turn the vent fan on.
■
Never leave surface units beneath your
oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if
the oven vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high
heat on surface units only when
necessary.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in
the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■
Metal or foil touching the side of the
oven.
■
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
■
Metal cookware used during either
speedcook or microwave cooking (except
for the pans provided with the oven).
■
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,
or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
■
Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
■
Use foil only as recommended in
this guide.
ARCING
Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
