Care & Maintenance
Cleaning:
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,
including accessories, should be cleaned
regularly.
WARNING
CAUTION:
This appliance may NOT be
connected during cleaning. Danger of
electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the
appliance off. NEVER clean the appliance with
a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components, causing danger of
electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the
damage of plastic parts. The appliance must
be dry prior to plugging it back in.
•
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 free from food and grease build-up.
•
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners on the
microwave. 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 splatters immediately with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking greasy foods
like chicken or bacon.
•
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more
often, if needed.
•
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 soap. 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 to 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 in warm sudsy water or in the
dishwasher.
•
Clean the outside surface of the micrwoave
with soap 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.
•
If children are around, use extreme caution,
this unit should NOT be accessible to child’s
play.
•
Wash the oven door window with very mild
soap an 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. You may wish to leave a cup
of water standing inside the oven when it is
not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
