Care of Your Oven
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals
and door seal areas clean. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the
oven walls, door seals and door seal areas
wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent
may be used if they get very dirty. The use
of harsh detergent or abrasive is not
recommended.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS.
3. The outside oven surface should be
cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.
4. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it
with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the Control
Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel
leave the oven door open to prevent the
oven from accidentally turning on. After
cleaning turn TIMER DIAL back to ZERO
position.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should
be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive
noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of
the oven with mild detergent and hot water
then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring
may be washed in mild soapy water.
Cooking vapours collect during repeated
use but in no way affects the bottom
surface or roller ring wheels. After
removing the roller ring from the cavity
floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in
the proper position.
8. This oven should only be serviced by
qualified personnel. For maintenance and
repair of the oven contact the nearest
authorized dealer.
9. A steam cleaner must not be used for
cleaning.
10. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration of
surfaces that could affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
11. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check
that no dust or other material is blocking
any of the air vents on the top, bottom or
rear of the oven. If air vents become
blocked this could cause overheating which
would affect the operation of the oven and
possibly end in a hazardous situation.
12. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
