CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

To Clean Your Oven

1, Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between seal and door surface. It is best to wipe up spillovers with warm sudsy water and a soft cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb the microwave energy and lengthen cook- ing time.

Use warm sudsy water and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe up crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spat- ters with warm sudsy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The turntable can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

2.Keep the outside of the oven clean. Clean with soap and water then rinse 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 oven from accidentally starting, and wipe with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Touch clear pad after cleaning.

3.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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Repairs should be done by qualified service personnel only.

2.Do not hit or strike the control panel with objects such as silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.

3.Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot.

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the hot food does.

4.Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them into water just after cooking. This may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool down before cleaning.
