Cleaning and Care
1. Turn off the microwave and unplug the power cord from the wall before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the microwave clean, especially the wave guide. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the microwave walls, wipe with a damp
cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the microwave gets very dirty. Avoid using
spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the microwave should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the microwave, water should not be al-
lowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts with a damp cloth
to remove any spills or splatters.
5. Do NOT allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
When cleaning the panel, leave the microwave door open to prevent it from
accidentally turning on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave is operated under high humidity and
is normal.
7. It may be necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the glass tray
in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. The roller ring and microwave floor
should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom surface
of the microwave with a mild detergent.
8. The roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When
removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
9. Remove odors from your microwave by combining a cup of water with the juice
and peel of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. The microwave should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be
removed, especially from the wave guide. Failure to maintain the microwave in
a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could adversely
affect the life of the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
11. Please do not dispose of this appliance in a regular garbage receptacle. Please
check to see where you can dispose of such appliances.
