• Affresh^® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See "Online Ordering Information" section from Quick Start Guide to order.

MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY
To avoid damage to microwave oven cavity, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or some paper towels.
On stainless steel models, rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

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

Cleaning Method:
Average Soil

• Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
  Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Electrical Requirements

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and the wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the oven is properly grounded.
This oven must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
