Care and Cleating
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.

PART OF THIS OVEN.
