Whirlpool AMW 545 manual Maintenance & Cleaning, Careful Cleaning

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Do not use metal scouring pads on the inside of the oven cavity. They will scratch the surface.

At regular intervals, especially if spillovers have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.

This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.

Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.

Use a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.

Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.

For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.

Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.

Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.

Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, etc. can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.

Do not spray directly on the oven.

CAREFUL CLEANING:

The Crisp-plateshould be cleaned in mild, detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned with a scouring sponge and a mild cleanser. Always let the crisp-plate cool off before cleaning.

Do not immerse or rinse with water while the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may damage it. Do not use steel-wool pads.

This will scratch the surface.
