Care and Cleaning of Your Cooking Center
Proper care and cleaning
are important so your Cooking
Center will give you efilcient and
satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for
it to help assure safe and proper
maintenance.

ANY PMT OF YOUR
COOKING CENTER.
Control I%nel
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
around the control panel. They
might damage it.
Clean the panels with a lightly
dampened cloth. DO NOT USE
cleaning sprays or large amounts of
soap and water. These can cause
problems with the control
mechanisms.
Temperature Probe
The probe is sturdy, but care
should be taken in handling it. Do
not twist it. Avoid dropping it.
Clean as soon as possible after use.
Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub
metal parts with a plastic scouring
pad if necessary. Rinse and dry.
(Or, wash the probe in an automatic
dishwasher.)
Aluminum Foil on Shelves—
why you shouldn’t use it
DO N~ place a sheet of aluminum
foil on any shelf in either your
microwave or conventional oven. If
you do, your foods may not cook
properly. The oven finish may be
damaged, and there may bean
increase in heat on the outside
surfaces of the oven.
Oven Lamp
To replace microwave oven lamp,
firstdisconnect power at main
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Remove the grille by removing the
3 screws on top and the 3 screws on
the bottom of the grille using a
blade-type screwdriver.

The lamp is located on the left side
behind the grille.
Gently twist the bulb to break the
white silicone adhesive attached
to the bulb and socket to prevent
damage during shipping. Unscrew
the bulb and replace with a bulb of
same type and wattage available

DOUBLE DUTYTM
Shelf Accessory
Your shelf accessory is designed
for use in a microwave oven only;
do not use in a conventional oven.
Do not use a browning dish with
the shelf. Arcing could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and
water or in the dishwasher. Do not
clean in self-cleaning oven.
Precautions for Use of Metal
Use metal only as directed in the
Cookbook. Metal trays no more
than 3/4” deep may be used for TV
dinners, and the metal temperature
probe is designed for microwave
oven use. Always keep metal at
least one inch away from sides
of oven.
Cleaning—Outside
Clean the outside of your microwave
oven with soap and damp cloth,
then rinse with damp cloth and dry.
Wipe the window clean with a
damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped
with a damp cioth and then with a
dry towel.
Cleaning—Inside
Keep your microwave 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.
