tant so your Cooking Center will

assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS
OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF YOUR COOKING
CENTER.
Control Panels
Don't use sharp-edged utensils
around the con~rol panels. They
might damage It.
Clean the panels with a lightly
dampened cloth. DO NOT USE
cleaning sprays or large amounts of
soap and water. These can cause
problems with the control
mechanisms.
Temperature Probe
The probe is sturdy, but care
should be taken in handling it.
Do not twist it. Avoid dropping it.
Clean as soon as possible after use.
Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub
metal parts with a plastic scouring
pad if necessary. Rinse and dry.
DO NOT wash the probe in an
automatic dishwasher.
Aluminum Foil
on Shelves—
why you shouldnk use it
DO NOT place a sheet of alum-
inum foil on any shelf in either your
microwave or conventional oven. If
YOU
do, your foods may not cook
properly. The oven finish may be
damaged. And there may be an
increase in heat on the outside
surfaces of the oven.
Oven
Lamp
The oven lamp bulb is long-lasting.
Only a qualified service technician
should replace it.
DOLJ13LE DKTl""
Shelf Accessory
Your shelf accessory is designed for
use in a microwave oven only; do
not use in a conventional oven. Do
not use a browning dish with the
shelf. Arcing could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and
water or in the dishwasher. Do not
remove plastic spacers from the
shelf when cleaning. Do not clean

Precautions
for [Ise of Nietal
Use metal only as directed in the
Cookbook. Metal trays no more
than 3/4" deep may be used for TV
dinners, and the metal temperature
probe is designed for microwave
oven use. Always keep metal at
least one inch away from sides
of oven.
Cleaning—Outside
Clean the outside of your micro-
wave 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
wiping with a solution of baking
soda and water keeps the interior
fresh.
Spills and spatters are easy to re-
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 with a paper towel, some
may require a damp cloth. Remove
greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth,
then rinse and dry.
NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANER ON ANY
PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE
OVEN.
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 w_illdamage the oven
if you do.

tions on can. Do not use it on the
