Cleaning Surface
The wave-guide cover is a light brown mica panel
located on the right side of the oven interior. Carefully
clean with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaner. Do not
remove the wave-guide cover.
To maintain efficient cooling and ventilation do not allow
dust to accumulate on the vents and air intake (located on
the rear of the oven). To keep them clean use a sponge
dampened with warm soapy water to clear away.
Answer
• There may be several reasons why
the Microwave Oven light is not on.
• Have you: Set a cooking time?
Pressed "START"?
• The Oven Light needs replacing.
• Steam is normally produced during
cooking. The Microwave Oven has
been designed to vent this steam.
• Yes. Never operate the Microwave
Oven empty or without the glass
turntable.
• No. The metal screen bounces the
energy back to the Microwave Oven
cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only
light to pass though. They do not let
microwave energy pass though.
