Instructions Safety

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Microwave Oven

Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave oven.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

	To prevent breakage, do not place the
	turntable into water just after cooking.
	Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or
	in the dishwasher.
	The turntable and support can be
	broken if dropped. Remember, do not
	operate the microwave oven without the
	turntable and support in place.
	To replace the support, place its center
	post in the hole. Turn the support
	around until it seats into place.
	Inside
	Keep the 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.
	Spills and spatters are easy to remove
	from walls and floor if they are wiped up
	soon after the food is removed. Some
	spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some
	may require a damp cloth. Remove
	greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then
	rinse and dry.
	Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
	can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.
	Wipe up spatters on the window on the
	inside of the door daily. When the
	window is soiled, wash it with a damp
	cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
	Wipe metal and plastic parts on the
	inside of the door frequently. Use a damp
	cloth to remove all soil.
	Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders
42	or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the
	surface.

Outside

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

Door Surface

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
