CLEANING AND CARE
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
Cleaning is easy because little 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 baking
soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
Interior - after convection, mix or broil cooking
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease.Wash immediately after use with hot,soapy water.
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 filled 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.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts
and heater by simply operating the oven on 450˚F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room
if necessary.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good microwave 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 fire.Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave 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 microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a
soft cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks
The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are
also dishwasher-proof.Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to
discolor.Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur,wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in
this area.
