UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
PRECAUTIONS
•
Place
the front surface of the door three inches or more from
the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the
microwave oven during normal use.
•
To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of
each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not
activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a pad is
touched correctly. Don't touch several pads at once.
•
Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.
•
Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils out of
the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food
and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section
for more information.
•
Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in water
immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also,
always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the
oven.
•
Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water
should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the
microwave energy.
•
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
CLEANING
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to pre-
vent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleal')ing powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
-
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
-
Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough
pads.
-
The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause
the turntable to break during use.
-
The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly
•
Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
•
The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
•
Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in
The shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,
causing the eggs to burst.
There are several precautions to follow when micro-waving
popcorn:
•
Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
•
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
•
Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-approved.
•
Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
•
Do not re-pop un-popped kernels.
•
Do not reuse popcorn bags.
•
Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
•
Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
•
Follow directions on bag.
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the inner door
panel and the oven front frame should be free of
food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild
detergent; then rinse and wipe dry. Never use
cleaning powders or rough pads.
Make sure that the turntable and rotating ring are
in the right position.
