Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids
stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they
will absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe up
all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or Food Sanitizer
Solution may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives.
3. The outside surface and the outer door of this microwave oven
should be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth.
Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or
control panel opening since this can damage the unit.
CLEANING OF THE SPLATTER SHIELD
1. Hold snap in / snap out stoppers of splatter shield with both hands
and pull them in and down. Then take the splatter shield out of the
oven cavity.
2. Rinse splatter shield in soapy water or Food Sanitizer Solution and
dry it completely.
3. Be sure to replace the shield before using the oven.
CAUTION
Splatter shield must be in place securely when you use the oven.
Stopper Splatter Shield
“rFL” is displayed if the splatter
shield is removed.
(See page 33.)
Place the splatter shield
securely after cleaning. The
oven is inoperative without it.
