If the temperature from the range or cooktop gets too hot, the vent fan will turn on automatically to protect the oven. It may stay on for up to an hour.

Touch the vent pad once to turn the fan on high. Touch it a second time to turn it on low, and a third time to turn off the fan.

Wipe the window on both sides of the door with a soft cloth. Cleanliness is easier to maintain if this is done frequently.

The turn table and turn table support are removeable for easy cleaning. You can wash them in mild sudsy water, or place them in the upper rack of your dishwasher. The wire rack and shelf can also be cleaned with hot soapy water.

In some instances, if you have a metal turn table (instead of glass), you do need to set the popcorn bag on a popcorn/bacon plate.

This plate will lift the popcorn bag off of the microwave’s metal turntable, which can otherwise interfere with the metal contained in the popcorn bag.
