FOOD CHARACTERISTICS & MICROWAVE COOKING / QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1 Keep the inside of the oven clean
Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between the seal and door surfaces. It is best to wipe
up spillovers with a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen
cooking times. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to
keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry.
Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The metal tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
2 Keep the outside of the oven clean
Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper
towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, the water should not be allowed to seep into
the ventilation openings. To clean control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from accidentally starting, and
wipe a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press Stop/Clear after cleaning.

If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. This may occur
when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
4
The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use only warm, soapy water, rinse then dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.
5
Do not use steam cleaners.
6
Unplug your oven from the electrical socket when you clean control panel with wet cloth or spray water on control
glass to clean. If it is not unplugged, this product can be operated by touching the Quick Start button.

FAQ
Answer
What’s wrong when the oven light will not glow?
There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.
Either the light bulb has blown or the electric circuit has failed.
Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
No. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to pass; they do not
let microwave energy through.
Why does the BEEP tone sound when a button
on the control panel is touched?
The BEEP tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly
entered.
Will the microwave function be damaged if it
operates empty?
Yes. Never run it empty.
Why do eggs sometimes pop? When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to
steam build up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply
pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Why is standing time recommended after
microwave cooking is over?
After microwave cooking is nished, food keeps on cooking
during standing time. This standing time nishes cooking evenly
throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the
density of the food.
Why doesn’t my oven always cook as fast as the
cooking guide says?
Check your cooking guide again to make sure you’ve followed
directions correctly, and to see what might cause variations
in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are
suggestions, chosen to help prevent overcooking, the most
common problem in getting used to this oven. Variations in the
size, shape, weight and dimensions of the food require longer
cooking time. Use your own judgment along with the cooking
guide suggestions to test food conditions, just as you would do
with a conventional cooker.
