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.
