• If the control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the control panel.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven
door, wipe it away 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.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning.
Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
• The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly
to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the
oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and then dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.
NOTE: The microwave is for food preparation only. Do not use
the microwave to dry clothes, newspapers, shoes or other items.
Microwave Facts:
One of the most useful documents for the microwave is the operations manual,
located in the owner’s information file box. Read it carefully and keep it for
reference. Another useful item is a microwave cookbook. Many will contain
information about cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. Ensure
food is in the microwave during operation to absorb the microwave energy.
The magnetron, cycling on and off, may be heard for power levels less than 100%.
Condensation is a normal occurrence in microwave cooking. The moisture
within foods, and the room humidity, will influence how much moisture condenses
in the microwave. Covered foods will not usually produce as much condensation
as foods that are not covered.
About Cooking:
• Food should be arranged with the thickest areas towards the
outside of the dish.
• Monitor cooking times. Use the shortest amount of time required
for cooking and add time as needed. For popcorn, follow product
instructions and carefully monitor for the duration of popping time.
• Cover the food while cooking to prevent splatter and reduce
condensation.
• Stir the food from the outside of the dish to the center, once or
twice, between cooking.
• Turn food over during cooking to speed cooking times. Large food
items should be turned at least once during cooking time.
• Use standing times to prevent overcooking. Covered food will
continue to cook after it is removed from the microwave oven.
