Care of Your Oven

1.Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.

2.Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they will absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or an approved sanitizing solution may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

3.The outside surface of this microwave oven should be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or control panel opening since this can damage the unit.

4.The window of the door should be washed with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth. Never use window clearer. The front door can be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.
