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. 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
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the window on both sides 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.
This is normal.
7. It may be necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the 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 skin 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. 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.
12. When it becomes necessary to change the oven light, consult a technician to
have it replaced.
