Care of Your Microwave Oven
BEFORE CLEANING:
Unplug at socket of the oven. If impossible,
leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on.
AFTER CLEANING:
Be sure to replace the Rotating Ring and
Glass Tray in the proper position and
press Stop/Reset Pad to clear the screen.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside
with a soft cloth and a mild deter-
gent solution. Then rinse and
wipe dry. This should be done
weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads. Excessive oil splat-
ters on the inside top will be diffi-
cult to remove if left for many
days. Wipe splatters with a wet
paper towel, especially after cook-
ing chicken or bacon.
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the
inner door panel and the oven front frame
should be free of food or grease buildup.
Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning
powders or rough pads.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and rotating ring are
removable. They should be hand-washed
in warm (not hot) water with a mild deter-
gent and a soft cloth. Once they are
clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning powders, steel wool,
or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the
sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch
the edges as this may cause the
turntable to break during use.
• The rotating ring should be cleaned reg-
ularly.
