CLEANING ThE TURNTAbLE ANd

ROLLER RINGS

Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable

as required. You can wash the turntable safely in your

dishwasher.

CLEANING ThE STIRRER FAN

ASSEmbLy

The function of the stirrer fan is to distribute the

microwave energy within the oven cavity. To assure even

cooking of your food and optimum performance of this

unit, the stirrer fan should be cleaned from time to time.
1. Disconnect the power cord and open the oven door.
2. Remove the plastic pin clip by pulling straight down.

If you can not pull it out by hand, you may need to use

pliers or carefully pry it out using a small screwdriver.

3. The stirrer cover can now be rotated clockwise slightly

to the left. Please note that it will only move about

1/8”, (3 mm), or so.

4. Pull the cover and the stirrer fan straight down to

remove it from the oven.

5. Inspect the fan and cover assembly for any damage

or broken parts.

6. Clean both the fan and the cover using a dish brush

and a solution of warm water and detergent. Be

careful not to bend the stirrer fan. Dry both parts

thoroughly.

7. Place the fan on the pin and confirm that it moves

freely.

8. Reinstall the stirrer assembly into the oven making

certain the hole for the plastic pin clip is towards you

at the six‐o‐clock position.

9. Rotate the cover assembly counter‐clockwise until

you can insert the plastic pin clip.

10. Reconnect the power cord and confirm the operation

of the oven.

The condition of the grease filters and/or charcoal filter

may be a good guide for determining how frequently the

stirrer fan should be inspected and cleaned for proper

operation.

cleaning and

maintaining your

microwave oven

Keeping your microwave oven clean improves

its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs,

and lengthens its life.

CLEANING ThE ExTERIOR

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave

oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy

water. Rinse and dry.

CAUTION

Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive

products or chemical solvents such as ammonia or

alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your

microwave.

Cleaning under your microwave oven

Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your

microwave using a solution of warm water and detergent.

Cleaning the control panel

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not

use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,

abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily

damaged.

Cleaning the door and door seals

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the

door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning

the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and

prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass

door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft

cloth to avoid scratching.
If a thin film of water accumulates on the inside or outside

of the oven door, wipe it off with a soft cloth. A thin water

film can accumulate when you operate the oven at high

humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

CLEANING ThE INTERIOR

CAUTION

Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down

before cleaning it to avoid injury.

CAUTION

Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning

the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking,

handle it with care and do not put it in water

immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in

warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your microwave

oven periodically to remove any splashes or stains. To

remove hardened food articles and remove smells, place

2 cups of water (add lemon juice for extra freshness) into

a four-cup measuring glass. Run the microwave at High

power for 5 minutes or until the water boils. Let water

stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
