Care and Cleaning of Your Cooking Center
(See Cleaning Guide onpage37.)
Proper care and cleaning
are important so
your Cooking
Center will give you efficient and
satisfactory service. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for
it to help assure safe and proper
maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER
IS OFF BEFORE CLEAMNG
ANY PART OF YOUR
COOKING CENTER.
Control
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
around the control panel. They
might damage it.
Clean the panels with a lightly
dampened cloth. DO N(YT 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.
(Or, wash the probe in an automatic
dishwasher.)
Al
Foil on
why you shouldn’t use it
DO place a sheet of aluminum
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 bean
increase in heat on the outside
surfaces of the oven.
Oven Lamp
To replace
microwave oven lamp,
disconnect power at main
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Remove the Hood Extension and
Hood Filter following instructions
on page 38.
The lamp cover is located on the
lower left side behind the hood falter.
Use a short blade-type screwdriver
and remove the screw in the front
of the lamp cover.
Lift the lamp cover and gently twist
the bulb to break the white silicone
adhesive attached to the bulb and
socket to prevent damage during
shipping. Unscrew the bulb and
replace with a bulb of same type
and wattage available from your GE
supplier.
Screw replacement bulb into
socket, replace screw in lamp
cover and
Hood Filter
and Hood Extension. Re-connect
power to Cooking Center.
DOUBLE
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
clean in self-cleaning oven.
Precautions for Use of Metal
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 microwave
oven with soap and damp cloth,
then rinse with 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.
Cleaning-Inside
Keep your microwave oven clean
and sweet-smelling.
Opening the
oven door a few minutes
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.
That’s because there’s little heat
except in the food, or sometimes 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.
