Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning
For best performance and safety, keep the oven
clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep
the inner door panel and the oven front frame free
of food or grease build-up. Never use rough powder
or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out,
including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and
a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse
and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on
chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters
immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after
cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or
more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
oven.
• Keep the inside 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 cloth
and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids,
heat two cups of water (add the juice of one
lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a
four-cup measuring glass at High power for five
minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for
one or two minutes.
° Remove the glass tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray
from breaking, handle it carefully and do not
put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash
the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the
dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap
and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts of the
oven, don't let water seep into the openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap
and water. Be sure to use a soft 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 it; this
can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the
oven is accidentally turned on.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned
often, at least once a month.
1. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the side.
Pull filter downward and push to the other side.
The filter will drop out.
2,
Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild
detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not
use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The
aluminum will darken.
3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the side slot,
then push up and toward oven center to lock.
