width of 36 inches.

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should 
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven 
cleaners, may damage the filter.

wave oven.

use the microwave oven near water - for example,

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not 
be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create
a fire or risk of electric shock.

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
