Microwave Oven - GE JTP86SHSS User Manual

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooking center.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of
the film before using the appliance for the
first time.

Microwave Oven

Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any
part of your microwave oven.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the
turntable into water just after cooking.
Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or
in the dishwasher.
The turntable and support can be
broken if dropped. Remember, do not
operate the microwave oven without the
turntable and support in place.
To replace the support, place its center
post in the hole. Turn the support
around until it seats into place.
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 if they are wiped
up soon after the food is removed.
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.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.
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.
Wipe metal and plastic parts on the
inside of the door frequently. Use a damp
cloth to remove all soil.
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft
cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders
or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the
surface.
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.
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.
