To reduce the risk ofinjmy topersons:
Do not overheat the liquid.
_Stir the liquid both before and halfway

Automatic Fan Protection feature
Cooking appli_ces installed unda" die microwave oven
may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause
temperatures high enough to overheat some internal
parts ofdie microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust
fan is designed to amomaficallyturn on at ahiw speed if
excessive temperatures occ_. Should this happen, die
fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically mm off when the internal parts have
cooled-Tha fannmy stay on for up to mahour after die

Power Level Cooking Guide
The power I_vels Oil your microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on a range.
High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest
way to cook and gives you 100%power.
Each power level gives you microwave energy
for a certain perrmaat of time, for example, power
level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Most of your cooking will be done on High
(Power Level 1O). a lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to
stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may
have better flavor, texture or appearance if one
of the lower settings is used. You may wish to
use a lower power level when cooking foods that
have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped
potatoes. Cooking times will increase as power
level decreases.
Power Level Best Uses
High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Medium 7 Gentle cooking of meat and
Poultry, baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and
tenderizing for stews
and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting, simmering,
' delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping food warm without
' overcooking, softening

use with a damp cloth to keep it free from
grease and soil buildup. Stubborn soils can be
removed with a plastic serub pad. When
