Caring for the Microwave
Oven
keep the inside of the oven clean
Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls
and between the seal and door surfaces. It is best
to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away.
Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy
and lengthen cooking times and may even damage
the oven. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that
fall between the door and the frame. It is important to
keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove
greasy spatters with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry.
Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners.
Anti-bacterial claim based on internal testing with
e-coli and staphylococcus bacteria, showing coating
prevents 99.99 % of bacterial growth on the surface
of the cavity of NeoChef.
keep the outside of the oven clean
Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet
before cleaning the oven to eliminate the possibility
of electric shock. Clean the outside of your oven with
soap and water then with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, the water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
To clean control panel, open the door to prevent the
oven from accidentally starting, and wipe a damp
cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press
STOP after cleaning.
If steam accumulates inside or around the outside
of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth.
Steam or condensation build up inside the door
is normal if foods are heated for a long period on
higher power levels. This is not a malfunction. The
condensation will eventually evaporate. Try covering
the food or vary the heating levels and time to reduce
any condensation forming in the door, this may also
occur when the oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of
the unit.
The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use
only warm, soapy water, rinse then dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS
CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC
PADS.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a damp cloth.
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.
