least one inch away from sides
of oven.
Cleaning—Outside
Clean the outside of your microwave
oven with soap and water, then
rinse and dry. The outer pane of the
window is glass. Wipe it clean with
a damp towel. Chrome is best
wiped with a damp cloth and then
with a dry towel.
Cleaning—Inside
Keep it clean and sweet-smelling.
Opening the oven door a few min-
utes after cooking helps air out the
inside. An occasional thorough wip-
ing with a solution of baking soda
and water keeps the interior fresh.

move from walls, floor and antenna
cover. That's because there's little
heat except in the food, or some-
times in the utensil. Some spatters
Wipe up spatters on the glass on
the inside of the door daily. Wash
glass, when it's soiled, with a min-
imum of sudsy, warm water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
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 sur-
faces 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.
Do not remove the plastic antenna
cover at the top of the oven (see
page 8). You will damage the oven
if you do.
