Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave
energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to 
cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete 
cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts 
need this time to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking the 
outer areas. Let all liquids, such as soup, water or hot chocolate stand for 
one minute then stir before serving. When heating baby food, stir after 
warming then test the temperature before serving.

Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in 
moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat 
disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help in 
cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING 

The inside cavity should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
1. Food splatters or spilled liquids in the Microwave cavity should be cleaned

after each use. Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use any sprays or other 
harsh cleaners.

2. If food has adhered to the oven walls, heat up to 2 cups (500 ml) of water 

with 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of lemon juice at 100% power for 4 minutes or until 
boiling. Let stand in the Microwave for 3 minutes. Remove.

3. Press the RESET Button then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
4. Remove the Turntable and wash in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Do not put the Turntable directly in water immediately after 
cooking. If the Turntable is hot, it may crack.

5. Remove the Roller Ring and wash in warm soapy water. Place on a paper 

towel or cloth and allow to dry before reinstalling in the Microwave.

6.

Wipe out the oven cavity with a damp cloth.

7. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent 

damage to the operating parts inside the Microwave, water should not be 
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

8. Wipe the glass door on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any 

splatters.

DO NOT

use abrasive cleansers.
