Care for Your Microwave Oven

Your New Microwave Oven is a Valuable Appliance,

Protect It From Misuse By Following These Rules:

Opening		the	oven	door a few	minutes	after	cooking	A.
helps “air-out” the interior. An occasional thorough
wiping with a solution of baking soda and water
keeps	the	interior fresh.

The	interior		and	exterior	oven	walls	can be
scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

How to Clean the Interior

Walls, floor and plastic cover. Because there is little heat except in the food, or sometimes in the uten- sils, spills and spatters are easy to remove. Some spatters are easy to remove. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COM-

MERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
