Caring For Your Microwave Oven; Questions And Answers - Philco PMD 2051 R Owner's Manual

CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with
a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the
ventilation openings.
Ensure all food deposit are cleaned off, as they can carbonized if left.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on
Control Panel.
5. 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.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a
dishwasher.
7. The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.
Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly
switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is pressed.
Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting
the cool oven surface.
Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass
through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To
prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their
shells.
