Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning:
To avoid electric shock always unplug your
microwave oven before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may
result in death or injury.
Caution:
Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid
personal injury or product damage.
General:
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft
cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down
your microwave oven.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,
chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or
metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may
dissolve, damage and/or discolor your microwave oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters
or liquid spills, wipe with a damp cloth.
• To prevent damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, care should be taken so water does not sweep
into the ventilation openings.
• Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not
scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door
and touch STOP/CLEAR.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside 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
a malfunction of the unit.
• The turntable and oven cavity floor should be cleaned
regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven and
dry. The turntable may be washed in mild sudsy water or
in the dishwasher.
