Care of Your Oven
1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before
cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven [and Middle shelf
(NE-2146-2, NE-2156-2 only)] clean. If pieces of
food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or
between door seal and door surface, they will
absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or
sparks. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen
detergent or Food Sanitizer Solution may be used if
the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives.
The middle shelf can be washed either in hot soapy
water or in the dishwasher.
3. The outside surface of this microwave oven should
be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a
soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into
the back ventilation or control panel, opening since
this can damage the unit.
4. The window of the door should be washed with
very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
cloth. Never use window clearer. The front door can
be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.
