CAUTION: Steel cutting processes used in the
construction of this machine can result in sharp
edges. Avoid contact with sharp edges during
cleaning and maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not wipe plastic and painted
sections of the oven with bleach, thinners or other
cleaning agents, as this may cause these parts to
dissolve or change shape.
Toxic cleaners should be avoided when cleaning
the inside of the Microwave as they may contact
food.
Caustic cleaners should always be avoided, as
they may damage components inside and outside
the unit.
This unit is not suitable for cleaning with the use
of a water jet or immersion.
