Care of your Oven

It is essential that you follow these points to get the maximum use from your oven. Microwaves are
attracted to moisture and grease: therefore a dirty oven does not cook EFFICIENTLY.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
This oven requires regular maintenance. (p.45)
