CARE AND MAINTENANCE
HELPFUL
HINTS
Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air out the
inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking
soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
NOTE: Be certain the power is off before cleaning any part of this oven.
HOW TO
CLEAN THE
INSIDE
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the
Door:
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel,
while others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on the oven walls. Never use a
commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support:
To prevent breakage, do not place the
turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the
dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not
operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.
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.
Outer Case:
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and dry.
Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door:
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use
cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasive or sharp objects on the
panel- they may damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.
Door Surface:
It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the
microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse well.
