Caring for Your Microwave Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or
soft cloth. Use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or a
mild detergent.
Be sure
to keep the areas clean
where the door and
oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well
with clean cloth.
Over time, stains can
occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles
spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2
to 3 minutes. Steam will
soften the soil. To get rid
of odors inside the oven,
boil a cup of water with
some lemon juice or
vinegar in it.
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft
cloth with spray glass
cleaner. Apply the spray
glass cleaner to the soft
cloth; do not spray
directly on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive
cleansers, steel wool
pads, gritty wash
cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can
damage the control panel and the interior and exterior
oven surfaces.
To clean glass tray and support, wash in mild,
sudsy water; for heavily
soiled areas use a mild
cleanser and scouring
sponge. The glass tray
and support are
dishwasher safe.
To use of the metal rack:
The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking
in more than one container at the same time.
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.
• Rack must not touch metal walls or back of
microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both above and
below rack.
To avoid risk of property damage:
1. Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.
2. Use the metal rack when cooking equal amounts
of food at the same time.
3. Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
4. Rack must be on the four plastic supports when
used.
