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.
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.
