Table 2. Cleaning and Care of the Beyond Microwave Oven
Surface Cleaning Procedure
Door Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any
spills or spatters. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaner. Gently wipe
around the inside of the doorframe, seals, latches, and hinges
to remove any food particles and condensation.
Exterior Clean with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use any type of abrasive cleaner.
Interior Clean with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use any type of abrasive cleaner. For heavier soil, use baking soda
or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER USE OVEN
CLEANERS INTENDED FOR CONVENTIONAL OVENS.
Scanning Wand Wipe tip with a soft, dry cloth. Do not allow liquids to come into
contact with the end of the scanning wand. Do not use a paper towel
which may scratch the lens.
Odor Removal To remove odors: combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1
lemon and several whole cloves in a 2 cup, microwave-safe, glass
measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave the
liquid in oven until it cools. Wipe the interior with a soft, dry cloth.
Control Panel Open the oven door before cleaning. GENTLY wipe the panel with a
slightly dampened cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any
detergents, solvents, chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Close the oven
door and press STOP/CLEAR.
Turntable
and Turntable
Roller Ring
You may remove the turntable and roller ring from the oven for cleaning.
Wash them in warm water using a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use
a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The glass turntable (not the roller
ring) may be washed in the dishwasher.
Wave Guide
Cover
The wave-guide cover is a light brown mica panel located on the right
side of the oven interior. Carefully clean with mild soap and water;
rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaner.
Do not remove the wave-guide cover.
Vents To maintain efficient cooling and ventilation, do not allow dust to
accumulate on the vents and air intake (located on the rear of the
oven). To keep them clean, use a sponge dampen with warm soapy
water to clear away.
Microwave Cooking Guidelines
Guidelines for General Microwave Cooking:
• Cook the food for the shortest time possible. If necessary, add cooking time until the food
reaches the appropriate temperature.
• The quantity, denseness, and temperature of food will all determine the cooking time
necessary. Check for doneness, and if necessary cook or reheat for additional time.
• Foods high in fat and sugar cook faster than foods with high water content.
• Foods similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
• When cooking large pieces of food, reduce the power level to allow for more even cooking.
