Care and Cleating

a

Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following these rules:

Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air-out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils on your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Inside

Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven tray. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon Ami(~) brand cleanser.

After using Bon Ami@brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon Amic~) brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in dishwasher.

How to Clean the Outside

Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.
