OPERATING
■ Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
■ Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery, or china dinnerware, which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used in compliance with cookware manufacturers’
recommendations.
■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
surface when the microwave is in operation.
■ Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and should not be heated in the microwave
oven.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire.
■ Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the oven.
■ 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.
■ This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
CLEANING
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk
of electric shock.
■ When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together on closing the door, use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a clean
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
SUPER HEATED WATER
■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven is
not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
■ To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain condi-
tions. 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 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 filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners,
may damage the filters.
■ 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.
