Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be
sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam
fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not
to overcook fish; check it at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Cleaning and Maintenance
9 WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease
has solidified before attempting to clean any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
▯ 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 abrasive 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.
▯ Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza,
Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can
damage the magnetron tube or ceramic 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.

gents or abrasive cleaners.

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.

filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher.
