Maintenance _31
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.
