Vent Fan Cooktop Light The vent (exhaust) fan has 2 speeds: high and low. To protect the microwave oven, if the temperature from the range or cooktop below the microwave oven gets too hot, the vent fan will automatically turn on at high speed. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot be turned off.
Cooking Guidelines Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Manual Cooking To Use: Do Not Use Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven. Microwave Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent or name.
To Bake Potatoes: Doneness Doneness may be adjusted to more done, less done, or back to normal doneness (default) for all automatic cooking functions except Popcorn. During programming, before touching START, touch COOK TIME once for MORE, twice for LESS or 3 times for NORMAL. Popcorn Popping time has been preset based on commercially packaged microwave popcorn. The preset programs are for bag sizes 3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) and 1.75 oz (50 g).
