• Do not do canning of foods in the oven.
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting
in damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to
sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is
difficult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for safe sterilization.
Caring for
Your
Microwave
Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks
good and works well for a long time, you
should maintain it properly. For proper
care, please follow these instructions
carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft
cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the
areas clean where the door and oven
frame touch when closed. Wipe well with
clean water. Over time, stains can occur on
the surfaces as the result of food particles
spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften
the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven,
boil a cup of water with lemon juice or
vinegar.
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft
cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can damage the control panel
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
To clean turntable and turntable support,
wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily
soiled areas use a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge. The turntable and
turntable support are dishwasher-safe.
