Care & Cleaning

• Check the type of cookware being used to see if it is microwave or
oven safe depending on the type of cooking being done.
• Gold paint or glaze may contain a trace amount of gold which is
electrically conductive and not compatible for microwave.
Hand-painted china commonly contains traces of metal.
• To test utensil for microwave compatibility place it in the
microwave with an 8 oz. plastic cup of water. Set the microwave
at full power for one minute. Carefully feel the utensil. The entire
utensil should be cool to the touch.
• Cover food with a microwave-safe paper towel or upside-down
plate to keep food spattering to a minimum. Place a paper towel
on the turntable to keep clean-up at a minimum.
• Clean up all spills or spatters before they dry.
• Food odors may linger inside oven. To help eliminate odors,
combine the juice and the peel from one lemon, several whole
cloves and 8 oz. of water into a two cup bowl. Place in oven on
high power, bring to a boil for several minutes. Let cool in the
oven for several minutes.
• Some food wrappers may be foil lined. Check the wrapping
carefully before cooking or heating. A small amount of foil is
acceptable if it is not wrinkled or near the sides of the microwave.
• If the microwave screen is not lit, plug another electrical appliance
into the same outlet as the microwave to verify AC power is
present. If the test item works, contact an appliance repair facility
to have the microwave checked.
The exterior of the microwave is plastic and metal. The interior is metal.
Do not use scouring pads, harsh or abrasive cleanser, chemical cleaners or
petroleum based thinners as these can damage the finish. Use mild soap and
water with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove most stains or spills. When
cleaning the touch pad open the door to prevent accidental operation. Use mild
soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid using excess amounts of water on the
touch pad. The turntable plate and oven racks are dishwasher safe.
