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 a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The glass tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. 2. Keep the outside of the oven clean. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then 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 the control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from accidentally starting, and wipe with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press STOP/CLEAR after cleaning. 3. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit. PRECAUTIONS 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 made by qualified service personnel only. Be certain to place the front surface of the door three inches away or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage. For the most accurate programming of the electronic units, touch the center of each pad securely. Do not touch several pads at one time or touch between pads. A beep sound should be heard with each touch when a pad is touched correctly. Do not hit or strike the control with objects such as silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur. Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them into water just after cooking. This may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool. Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking utensils section in this manual. Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb microwave energy. Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure build-up can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury. Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They can catch fire. Only use thermometers approved for microwave oven cooking. Be certain the turntable is in place when you operate the oven. Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit or vegetable which has a skin covering before cooking. Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell causing it to burst. Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwavesafe container or commercial package designed especially for microwave ovens. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag not designed for microwave oven use. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags. - 14 -
