Care for Your Microwave Oven
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
with your oven. The interior and ex-
terior oven walls can be scratched.
The control panel can be damaged.
Don't remove the antenna cover
at the top of the oven (microwave
feature 4 on page 5). You may
damage the oven.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OVEN.

to

Walls, floor and plastic cover. Be-
cause there is little heat except in
the food, or sometimes
in the uten-
sils, spills and spatters are easy to
remove. Some spatters can be
removed with a paper towel, others
may require a damp cloth. Remove
greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth,
then rinse and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on oven walls.
