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 dam-age the control panel and the interior and
exterior oven surfaces.
To clean turntable and
turntable support,
wash in mild, sudsy
water; for heavily soiled
areas use a mild
cleanser and scouring
sponge. The turntable
and turntable support
are dishwasher safe.
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 plasfic supports.
• Rack must not touch metal walls or back of
microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounfs of food both above and
below rack.
NOTE: If the rack will not be used for extended
periods remove the metal rack from the oven and
store it.
To avoid risk of property damage:
1. Do not cook with rack on floor of fhe 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.
5. Remove metal rack when not in use.
