Microwave Oven - GE JKP76 Use And Care Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooking center will give
you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in
caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE COOKING CENTER.
Control Panel
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and
water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.

Microwave Oven

Outside
• Clean the outside of the microwave oven with
soap and a damp cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp
cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and
then with a dry towel.
Inside
• Keep the 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.
• Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls
and floor. That's because there's little heat except
in the food, or sometimes in the cookware. Some
spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some may
require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with
a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.
Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside
of the door daily. When the window is soiled, wash
it with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Double Duty Shelf TM
Clean the shelf with mild soap and water or
in the dishwasher.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.
CARE AND CLEANING
Microwave Oven
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the
door frequently. Use a damp cloth to remove all soil.
Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders or
steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.
Door Surface
• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
If you use a Brown 'N Sear Dish:
®
• Use Bon Ami
brand cleanser. High heat generated
on the bottom of the Brown 'N Sear Dish can cause
stains to bake onto the oven floor if grease is present.
These may be removed with Bon Ami
cleanser. After using this cleanser, rinse and dry
thoroughly, following cleanser instructions carefully.
DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
