CLEANING AND MAINTAINING

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.

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

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.

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.
