CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
●
Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
●
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
●
Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
Cleaning Suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven
clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build-
up.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and
warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe
completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially
after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:
●
Keep the inside (cavity) 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, clean cloth and
mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners.
●
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep
the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High
power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity
for 1 or 2 minutes.
●
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray
in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
●
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and
a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water
seep into any vents or openings.
●
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water.
Be sure to use a soft clean 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 the oven cavity; this
can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may
wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when
it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally
turned on.

Cleaning the Outside of Your
Microwave
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the
outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove
any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if
wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and
other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door
surface.
Control Panel
If the control panel is dirty, open the door of your microwave
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly
with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any
sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press Stop to
clear any buttons you may have pressed.
Cleaning the Inside of Your
Microwave
Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use
baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot
water.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the right side of the
microwave cavity. It is made from mica so it requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good
microwave performance. Carefully wipe the surface of the
cover immediately with a damp cloth if any food spatters on it.
Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly
catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Removing Odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in your microwave.
To remove, combine one cup water, the grated peel and juice
of one lemon in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several
minutes using 100% power, then let it cool in your microwave.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
