CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use
abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service
technician. It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to
the:
i) Door(bent)
ii) Hinges and Hooks(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service
technician.
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed.
6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
