CARE AND CLEANING

The oven should be turned off and cooled before cleaning.

The oven cavity is made of stainless steel and should be cleaned with a detergent such as fantastik ®, Soft Scrub ® or MR. Clean ®. After convection cooking in particular, the interior of the oven may be stained with spattered oil. It is recom- mended that the oven be cleaned each time after use before the oil spatters harden and become difficult to remove. Do not use rough or scratchy pads or cleaners.

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease build-up. Wipe both often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use rough powders or pads.

If the control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on control panel. Avoid the use of excess water. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

REMOVABLE PARTS

It is occasionally necessary to remove the metal turntable for cleaning. Wipe up spillovers with paper towel or cloth before removal of the metal turntable.

NOTE: When metal turntable is removed for cleaning, water or food particles should not be allowed to spill into the opening in the center of the oven bottom.

Metal turntable and metal rack should be washed in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth. Never use rough cleaning powders, steel wool or rough cleaning pads.

NOTE: Cool metal turntable and metal rack completely before washing.

The roller rest and oven cavity bottom should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the oven bottom surface with mild detergent water and dry.

The roller rest may be washed in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.

Microwave Oven specifications

The Sears Microwave Oven has been a trusted kitchen appliance for decades, known for its reliability, efficiency, and innovative features. As one of the prominent products under the Sears brand, it aims to meet the demands of modern cooking while simplifying everyday meal preparation.

One of the standout features of the Sears Microwave Oven is its versatility. It typically includes multiple cooking presets designed for various food types, such as popcorn, pizza, and frozen meals. These one-touch settings allow users to cook their meals perfectly without the need to constantly monitor the cooking process.

The microwave’s power output is another critical characteristic, usually ranging from 700 to 1200 watts. Higher wattage translates to quicker cooking times, which is particularly advantageous for busy households. Despite its power, the microwave is engineered for energy efficiency, helping users save on electricity bills while minimizing their environmental impact.

In terms of technology, many Sears Microwave Ovens are equipped with sensor cooking. This feature detects steam emitted from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power levels for optimal results. This eliminates the guesswork traditionally associated with microwave cooking, ensuring that dishes are cooked evenly and thoroughly.

Another notable characteristic is the interior capacity, which typically ranges from compact to larger sizes, accommodating various household needs. The turntable design aids in even cooking by rotating food during the heating process, while the smooth interior surface allows for easy cleaning, a must-have for today’s home cooks.

Furthermore, Sears offers user-friendly controls, often incorporating a digital display and intuitive keypad. Many models feature a child lock safety mechanism, ensuring peace of mind for families with young children.

Overall, the Sears Microwave Oven is more than just a cooking appliance; it embodies convenience, technology, and practical design. Whether reheating leftovers, defrosting meats, or preparing meals from scratch, it stands out as an essential tool in any contemporary kitchen, characterized by its combination of efficiency, power, and user-friendly features.
