CARE AND CLEANING
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.
How to clean the outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol
can damage the appearance of the microwave.
Case Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then
dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
•
Control panel
and door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays,
large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the
panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
•
Door surface It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against
the microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a
clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
•
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often.
Use a solution of warm water and detergent.
