Care and Cleaning of Your Cooking Center

Proper care and cleaning

are important so your Cooking Center will give you efilcient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PMT OF YOUR COOKING CENTER.

Oven Lamp

To replace microwave oven lamp,

firstdisconnect power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

DOUBLE DUTYTM Shelf Accessory

Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not

clean in self-cleaning oven.

Control I%nel

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils around the control panel. They might damage it.

Clean the panels with a lightly dampened cloth. DO NOT USE cleaning sprays or large amounts of soap and water. These can cause problems with the control mechanisms.

Temperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling it. Do not twist it. Avoid dropping it. Clean as soon as possible after use. Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub metal parts with a plastic scouring pad if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or, wash the probe in an automatic dishwasher.)

Aluminum Foil on Shelves— why you shouldn’t use it

DO N~ place a sheet of aluminum foil on any shelf in either your microwave or conventional oven. If you do, your foods may not cook properly. The oven finish may be damaged, and there may bean increase in heat on the outside surfaces of the oven.

Remove the grille by removing the 3 screws on top and the 3 screws on the bottom of the grille using a blade-type screwdriver.

d

The lamp is located on the left side behind the grille.

Gently twist the bulb to break the white silicone adhesive attached to the bulb and socket to prevent damage during shipping. Unscrew the bulb and replace with a bulb of same type and wattage available from your General Electric supplier.

Screw replacement bulb in socket and replace grille. Re-connect power to Cooking Center.

Precautions for Use of Metal

Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook. Metal trays no more than 3/4” deep may be used for TV dinners, and the metal temperature probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sides

of oven.

Cleaning—Outside

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

Cleaning—Inside

Keep your microwave 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.
