Care and Cleaning

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.
Don't remove the mode stirrer
cover at the top of the oven
(microwave feature 11 on page 5).
You will damage the oven.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OVEN.

not use Bon Ami" brand cleanser
