āCleaning and Maintenance Cleaning Cleaning suggestions 34 For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease buildĆup. Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon. Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed. Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven: Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. The interior of the oven is stainless steel. To prevent bakedĆon soil, clean food spatters or spilled liquids as they occur. For hard to remove soil, use a mild detergent, a nonĆabrasive cleanser or spray with an all purpose cleaner and wipe dry. To help loosen bakedĆon food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings. Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching. If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
