CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety,
keep the oven clean inside and out-
side. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame free of food or grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and
out, including the hood bottom cover,
with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and
wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and
polish on chrome, metal and aluminum
surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately
with a wet paper towel, especially after
cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your
oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructionsto clean and
care for your oven.
• Keep the inside 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 cloth and mild soap. Do not use
harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles
or liquids, heat two cups of water (add
the juice of one lemon if you desire
to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup
measuring glass at High power for five
minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
the oven for one or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven
when cleaning the oven or tray. To
prevent the tray from breaking, handle
it carefully and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the
tray carefully in warm sudsy water or
in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven
with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with
a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts of the oven, don't let
water seep into the openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild
soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
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 it; this can damage the magnetron
tube or glass tray.You may wish to
leave a cup of water in the oven when
it is not in use to prevent damage if the
oven is accidentally turned on.
