REHEAT BUTTON
Heating leftovers and precooked foods is easy with your new microwave. By actually sensing the humidity that escapes as the food is heated, the oven’s heating time is automatically adjusted depending on the type and amount of precooked food.
All food must already be precooked. Plates of food and casseroles should be stored at refrigerator temperature. Press the Reheat button and OK/START button to begin reheating your precooked food.

Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let the food stand to continue the thawing process. The food is not defrosted until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding the edges of roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the edges from being cooked before the center of the food has defrosted.

Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.
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.
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 when humidity is high and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it to avoid injury.
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 the water stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. You can wash the turntable safely in your dishwasher.
If you need to store your microwave oven for a short or extended period of time, choose a dust-free, dry location.
Dust and dampness may adversely affect the ability of the microwave parts.
When replacing the cooktop/night light, make sure that you are wearing gloves to avoid injury from the heat of the bulb.
When replacing the oven light, make sure that you are wearing gloves to avoid injury from the heat of the bulb.
