CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Turn the oven off before cleaning.

Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty.
The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.

The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a
soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives on Control Panel.

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

It is occasionally necessary to remove the metal
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.

The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. 
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with
mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy
water.
