have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can
be used in compliance with cookware manufacturers’
recommendations.

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 conditions.
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.
