Shielding
●
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent
overcooking.
●
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the
ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes.
●
Use only small amounts of aluminum foil, as larger
amounts may damage your microwave.
Turning
●
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all
parts to microwave energy.
●
This is especially important when cooking large foods
such as roasts.
Standing
●
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and
continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops.
●
Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially for foods
such as cakes and whole vegetables.
●
Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center
without overcooking the outer areas.
●
All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be
shaken or stirred when cooking is complete.
●
When heating baby food, stir well after removing from
microwave and test 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 it cook.
Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall
when cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters
or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp
cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the oven gets very
dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners. They may
stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the oven 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.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals
and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove
any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with
a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave
oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning
on.
6. 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
condition. This is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray
for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a
dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly
to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface
of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be
washed in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When
removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper
position.
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup
of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a
microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer
service to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the oven
in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surface
that could adversely affect the life of the unit and could
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
12. Please do not dispose of this appliance into the domestic
rubbish bin; it should be disposed to the particular
disposal center provided by the municipalities.
