Care and Cleaning
Your new microwave oven is
a valuable appliance. Protect

these rules:
● Keep your oven clean and
sweet-smelling.

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 inside and
outside oven walls can be scratched.
The control panel can be damaged.
