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.
