Maintenance

Maintenance

Oven Door:

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

BEFORE CLEANING:

Unplug at socket of the oven. If impossible, leave
oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally
turning on.

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.

Inside of the oven:

Wipe with a damp cloth. Non
caustic oven cleaners may be
used if the oven gets very dirty.
The use of harsh detergent or
abrasive cleaners is not
recommended.

NOTE:

Do not use oven cleaners on
the top of the oven.

Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:

Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent water or window cleaner and dry. Roller
Ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or
dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to
avoid excessive noise.

Ceramic Tray:

Remove and wash in warm
sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
If grease accumulates, clean
with a non-abrasive nylon mesh
scouring pad and non caustic
oven cleaners.

After 

Bake/Broil/Combination

cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy

water. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven
to SMOKE during use. To avoid smoking, run the oven without food on BROIL for 20 minutes.

AFTER CLEANING:

Be sure to replace Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray
in the proper position and press 

Stop/Reset

Pad

to clear the 

Menu Action Screen Display

Care of Your Microwave Oven

Control Panel:

If the control panel becomes wet,
clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners on the control panel.

ALL THESE THINGS  ARE  NORMAL:

The oven causes interference
with my TV.

The oven lights dim.

Steam accumulates on the
oven door and warm air comes
from the oven vents.

I accidentally ran my
microwave oven without any
food in it.

The oven has an odor and
generates smoke when using
the 

Bake

Combination

and

Broil

function.

Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused
by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryer, etc. It does
not indicate a problem with your oven.

When cooking with a power other than P10 - P3, the oven must cycle
to obtain the lower power levels. The oven light will dim and clicking
noises can be heard when the oven cycles.

During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most
of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which
circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on
cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.

Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.
However, we do not recommend this to be done.

It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after
cooking. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the
oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
