Care and Cleaning
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 instructions
to 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.
