CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
To Clean Your Oven
1. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and
between seal and door surface. It is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away.
Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking time. Use a damp
cloth to wipe up 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
sudsy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The turntable
can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Abrasive cleansers,
steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths,
etc., can damage the control
panel, and the interior and
exterior
oven surfaces.
Use a soft cloth or a sponge
with a mild detergent
or spray glass cleaner.
2. Keep the outside of the oven clean. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then
rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the operat-
ing 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 oven from accidentally
starting, and wipe with
a damp cloth followed immediately
by a dry cloth. Touch clear pad after cleaning.
3. If steam accumulates
inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This
may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way
indicates malfunction
of the unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel, safety
interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Repairs should be done by qualified service
personnel only.
2. Be certain to place the front surface of the door three inches or more away from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance
in normal usage.
3. For the most accurate programming
of the electronic
units, touch the center of each pad
securely. Do not touch several pads at one time or touch in between pads, A beep should be
heard with each touch when pad is touched correctly.
4. Do not hit or strike the control with objects such as silverware,
utensils, etc. Breakage may
occur.
5. Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers,
but the hot food does.
6. Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately
placing them into water just after cooking. This
may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool down before cleaning.
