CLEANING AND CARE
CLEANING SUGGESTIONS
For best performance and for safety reasons,
keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take
special care to keep the inner door panel and
oven frame free of food and grease buildup.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on
the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside
and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe
completely dry.
Wipe splatters immediately with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like
chicken or bacon.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for
your microwave oven:
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food
particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven
walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean
cloth and mild detergent. DO NOT use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or
liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1
lemon if you desire to keep the oven smelling
fresh) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power
for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven
cavity for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven
when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To
prevent the glass turntable from breaking,
handle with care and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable
tray with mild detergent.
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with
mild detergent and a clean damp cloth. Dry
with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to
the operating parts of the oven, do not let water
seep into any vents or openings.
Wash the oven door window with very mild
soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth
to avoid scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven
door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can
accumulate when operating the oven in high
humidity and in no way indicates microwave
leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the
oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron
tube or glass tray.
