CLEANING

PRECAUTIONS

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Place the front surface of the door three inches or

more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental

tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.

To program the oven, make sure you touch the center

of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads

will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time

a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads

at once.

Do not strike the control panel with silverware,

cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.

Always use caution when taking cookware out of the

oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food

and may be hot. See the “Cookware Guide” earlier in

this section for more information.

Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This

may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable

to cool before removing it from the oven.

Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or

water should always be in the oven during operation

to absorb the microwave energy.

Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.

They may catch fire.

Use thermometers that have been approved for

microwave oven cooking.

The turntable must always be in place when you

operate the oven.

Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the

shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it

to burst.

There are several precautions to follow when

microwaving popcorn:

— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe

container or commercial packages designed for

microwave ovens.

— Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not

microwave-approved.

— Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.

— Do not repop unpopped kernels.

— Do not reuse popcorn bags.

— Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping

slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.

— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping

corn.

— Follow directions on bag.

NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power

cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to

prevent an accidental oven start.

INTERIOR

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and

a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This

should be done weekly or 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 turntable and rotating ring are removable. They

should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a

mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,

rinse 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 rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.

DOOR

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel

and the oven front frame should be free of food or

grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then

rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or

rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear

any entries that might have been entered accidentally

while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the

turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.
