BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

INSIDE OF THE OVEN

Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs and
spillovers. It is important to keep the area between
door and cavity front clean to assure a tight seal.
Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then
rinse and dry.
Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners.

GLASS TRAY

The glass tray can be washed by hand or in 
dishwasher.

CONTROL PANEL

Wipe with a damp cloth followed immediately by a 
dry cloth.

DOOR

If steam accumulates inside or around the outside
of the oven door, wipe the panel with a soft cloth.
This may occur when the microwave oven is 
operated under high humidity conditions and in no
way indicates a malfunction of the unit.

OUTSIDE OVEN SURFACE

Clean with damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, the water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation 
openings.

After cleaning the oven, be sure that the rotating
ring and the glass tray are in the right position.
Press the STOP/CLEAR pad twice to reset   any
accidental key setting.

Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power sup-
ply cord of the oven. If impossible, open the oven
door to prevent an accidental oven start.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL 

*

Dull thumping sound during oven operation.

*

Steam or vapor escaping from around the door. 

*Light reflection around door or outer wrapper.

*

Dimming oven light and change in blower
sound during oven operation at power levels
other than high.

*

Some radio and TV interference might occur 
during operations. It is similar to the interference
caused by other small appliances such as 
mixers, blow dryer, etc.
