General Cleaning

IMPORTANT
:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are
off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due
to soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack
supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean.
Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge, or as
indicated below.
Grease filters: mild soap and water or dishwasher.
n
Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner
n
applied to paper towel.
Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water.
n
Stainless steel (on some models): mild soap and water,
n
then rinse with clean water and dry with soft cloth, or use
stainless steel cleaner.
Turntable: mild soap and water or dishwasher.
n
Cooking rack and supports (on some models): mild
n
soap, water and washcloth. Dishwasher cleaning is not
recommended.

Solution
Make sure the plug is properly connected to a grounded outlet.
If the wall outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in again.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.
Plug a different appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance doesn't work, call a qualified
electrician to repair the wall outlet.
Plug the oven into a different outlet.
Make sure the door is closed securely.
Check if any packaging material or anything else is stuck in the door seal.
Check if the door is damaged.
Touch Cancel twice and enter all the cooking instructions again.
If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: 88:88.
If no power outage occurred, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in
again. Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.
Make sure the oven has its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same
circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and
allow at least one inch between the foil and the interior oven walls.
Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
This is similar to interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your
microwave (or appliance) away from appliances, such as your TV or radio.
