MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

place.

Soak grease filters in hot water and mild detergent. Scrub and
swish to remove embedded dirt. Rinse well and shake dry.

Do not use ammonia or oven cleaner.

Do not place in dishwasher.

MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.
Damage may occur.

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed
should be kept clean.

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
