Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep
the oven clean inside and outside.
Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame
free of food or grease build-up. Never
use rough powder or pads. Wipe
the microwave oven inside and out,
including the hood bottom cover, with
a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild
detergent solution. Then rinse and
wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and
polish on chrome, metal and aluminum
surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately
with a wet paper towel, especially after
cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your
oven weekly or more often, if needed.

property damage, do not operate
