MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.

GREASE FILTERS

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye- based oven cleaners.

■Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

■Dishwasher:

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be trapped in the filters.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filters may occur after cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of the grease filters.

MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY

To avoid damage to the microwave oven cavity, do not use soap- filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.

To avoid damage to stainless steel models, rub in direction of grain.

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
