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.

not operate oven hood without filters in place.
