Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and
outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven fron frame free of
food and grease build up.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the
microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild
detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy
foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick
to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use
harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the
juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring
glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2
minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray.
To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in
water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in
the dishwasher.
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry
with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not
let water seep into any vents or openings.
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
clean cloth to avoid scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam
can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside
the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned
on.
