All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let
liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the
temperature before serving.
Adding 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 them cook.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
•
Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
•
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters 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 surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
•
Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents,
abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the control panel. When cleaning the control Panel, leave oven
door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
•
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 glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
•
The roller ring 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
ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. Cooking vapors collect during repeated use
but in no way affect the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. When removing the roller ring from
cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
•
Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a
deep microwavable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
•
When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
