QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly.
What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and
fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back
in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Clean the
turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or
reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than maximum (PL 10), the oven cycles to obtain the
lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on and off. This
is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to
vent this steam.

CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft
cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then
rinse and wipe dry. For best drying results,
use a cloth specially designed for
stainless steel surfaces. The cloth can
be found at most kitchen accessory and
hardware stores. This should be done on a
weekly basis, more often if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will
be difficult to remove if left for many days.
Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed as
described. They should be washed in warm
(not hot) water with a mild detergent and a
soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them
well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the
sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the
edges as this may cause the turntable to
break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be
cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner
door panel and the oven front frame should
be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe them
often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and
wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads. After cleaning the control panel,
press
STOP/CLEAR
