Technical Specifications
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside
of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may
occur when the microwave oven is operated under
high humidity conditions and in no way indicates
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 ring 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 dry. The
roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or
dish washer. Cooking vapours collect during
repeated use but in no way affect the bottom
surface or roller ring wheels.
When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for
cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
When it becomes necessary to replace the oven
light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
