Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven

BEFORE CLEANING:

Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inacces-
sible, 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 Pad to clear the Display.

Menu Label:

Do not remove, wipe with
a damp cloth.

Inside of the oven:

Wipe with a damp cloth
after using. Mild detergent
may be used if needed.
Do not use harsh deter-
gents or abrasives.

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 cool-
er surfaces, such as
the oven door. This is
normal.)
Inside surface is cov-
ered with a heat and
vapor barrier film. 

Do

not remove.

Glass Tray:

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

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 ventila-
tion openings.

Do not remove waveguide cover:
It is important to keep cover
clean in the same manner as the
inside of the oven.

Control Panel:

* Covered with a

removable protective
film to prevent
scratches during
shipping.  Small bub-
bles may appear
under this film.
(

Hint - To remove

film, apply 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.

Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:

Clean the bottom surface of the oven
with mild detergent water or window
cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be
washed in mild soapy water or dish-
washer. 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.

After cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. If the oven
is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to "Smoke"
during use.

Wire Rack, Browning Dish and Browning Dish Handle:

1. Never use any sharp utensils on the dish as this will dam-

age the non-stick surface.

2. After use, wash the wire rack, dish and handle in hot

soapy water and rinse in hot water. Do not use any abra-
sive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will
damage the surface of the dish.

3. The wire rack, dish and handle are dishwasher safe.
