CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Microwave
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep
the inner door panel and oven frame free of food and
grease build-up.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the micro-
wave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft
cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse
and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, espe-
cially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:
• Keep the inside (cavity) 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, clean cloth
and mild detergent. DO NOT use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleaners.
• To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring
glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let
stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable
tray with mild detergent.
• Clean the outside surface of the microwave with mild
detergent and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft
cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the
oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and
water. Be sure to use a soft clean 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 the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
