Care and Cleaning
• Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled
liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less
efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do
not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven
or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and
do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray
carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of
the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to
use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave
oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the
microwave.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then
dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays,
large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the
panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Door Surface
It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the
microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often.
Use a solution of warm water and detergent.
