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. 

METAL RACK

Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean
rack.

often, at least once a month.

unplug 

microwave oven.

cleaners, or place them in a dishwasher. The
