17. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED

INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-

mouthed container.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at

least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the

container.

18. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters frequently—Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on ventilation openings, hood (louver) or

grease filters.

19. Use care when cleaning the louver and the grease filters. Corrosive clean-

ing agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the louver and

the grease filters.

20. When flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on.
21. This appliance is suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment 36” wide or less.
