Care for Your Microwave Oven

Your New Microwave Oven is a Valuable Appliance,

Protect It From Misuse By Following These Rules:

Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling.

A.

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 with your oven.

 

The

interior

and

exterior

oven

walls

can be

 

scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

 

Don’t remove the cover over the “stirrer” at the top of the oven (microwave feature 4 on page 5). You will damage the oven.

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

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.

Door-inside.Glass: Wipe up spatters daily, wash when soiled, with a minimum of sudsy warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish: High heat generated on bottom of Brown ‘N Sear Dish can cause scorched appearing stains to bake onto the oven shelf if grease is present. These may be re- moved with Delete R Polishing Cleanser by the Drackett Products Co.

After using Delete, rinse and dry thoroughly, follow- ing instructions on can. Do not use Delete on the painted surfaces such as walls. It will scratch the paint.

Delete may be purchased from your local dealer or

 

from

your

Authorized

“yellow pages” for location and phone number.
