Care and Cleating
a
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
on your oven. The inside
and
outside oven walls
can
be
scratched. The control panel
can
be
damaged.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OVEN.

if dropped. Remember, do not
operate the oven without the
cooking tray in place.

high heat generated on bottom of a
