Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven  

 

 

 

 

Please see below   for

 

particular

 

cleaning

 

instructions

 

for

 

each

 

section of the  oven.

 

BEFORE  CLEANING: 

Unplug  oven  at  wall 

outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven 
door open while cleaning. 

AFTER CLEANING: 

Be sure to place the 

Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper 
position and press Stop/Reset Button to 
clear the Display. 
1.

 

Outside oven surfaces: 

Clean with a 

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

2.

 

Label: 

Do not remove. Wipe with a 

damp cloth. 

3.

 

Inside the Oven

: Wipe with a damp 

cloth after using. Mild detergent may 
be used if needed. Do not use harsh 
detergents or abrasives. 

4.

 

Oven Door: 

Wipe with a soft dry cloth 

when steam accumulates inside or 
around the outside of the oven door. 
During cooking, especially under high 
humidity conditions, steam is given 
off from the food. (Some steam will 
condense on cooler surfaces, such as 
the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. 

Do not remove.

 

5.

 

Oven Cavity Floor

: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry. 

6.

 

Wave Guide Cover

: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. 

It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the 

oven.

 

7.

 

Control Panel

: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles 

may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If 
the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. 

8.

 

Glass Tray

: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. 

9.

 

Roller Ring

:  Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise. 

 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE 

RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,

 

INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY
