Note
Always check that food is piping hot after reheating in the microwave. If unsure, return to oven. Foods will still require a stand time, especially if they cannot be stirred. The denser the food the longer the stand time.
Before Requesting Service
THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL
The oven causes interference with my TV.
- Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.
- During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it.
- Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this.

Care of your Microwave Oven
Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the Glass Tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
The outside oven surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
Do not allow the Control Panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning press Stop/ Reset pad to clear display window.
If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner and dry. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dish washer. Cooking vapors collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
Note
1. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
2. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
3. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
4. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning
