Cleaning & Care
1. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to
the door control panel, safety interlock switches, or any other part of
the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spilled liquids
stick to oven walls and in-between seal and door surfaces. This
material will absorb microwaves and reduce the efficiency of the
oven.
Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if
the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
TIP: To help loosen baked on food particles or spilled liquids, heat 2
cups of water in a 4-cup measuring glass at HIGH(Hi) power for 5
minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven 1 to 2 minutes. To keep the
oven fresh smelling, add the juice of one lemon to the water before
placing in oven.
3. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning of
the tray or oven. To prevent breakage, do not place tray into water
just after cooking. The tray is heavy and can be broken if dropped.
Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in dishwasher.
4. The outside surface of the oven should be cleaned occasionally with
soap and a damp cloth, rinsed, and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
5. The door window should be washed with very mild soap and water.
Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth to remove. This condition may occur when
oven is operated during periods of high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
7. Wipe off immediately anything spilled in the oven to avoid the
possibility of staining.
8. Do not cook directly (use proper cooking utensil) on the glass tray
unless indicated in the cooking guide.
9. Never operate the oven without food or water in it as this may result
in damage to the magnetron tube or energy-absorbing glass tray. A
cup of water left in the oven when it is not in use will safely absorb
this energy if the oven is accidentally turned on.
