CLEANING AND CARE
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven
during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be
easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh clean-
ers as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the
microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only.
Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/
CLEAR pad.
INTERIOR  AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING
The oven walls, ceiling and oor are stainless steel. Cleaning after microwave cooking is easy because no
heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering.
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.
INTERIOR  AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL COOKING
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy wa-
ter. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if
there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with
liquid cleaner within it—not a soap lled steel pad—for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow
manufacturer’s directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the
perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp
cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes
may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch re. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and
juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using
100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a
mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are also
dishwasher-safe using top rack.
