CLEANING AND CARE
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel 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
Disconnect the power cord or deactivate the oven
with setting Child Lock before cleaning to prevent
unexpected manipulation. See Child Lock on page
27. Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth
to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be
easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth.
Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as
they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL (SOME
MODELS)
Your microwave oven finish may be made with Easy
Care™ Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the
stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge
or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft
clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners
like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of
cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines
or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
INTERIOR
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. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in
the microwave oven cavity. It 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
The turntable and turntable support can be removed
for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for
stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive
scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use
upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is
not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped
up immediately.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or microwave oven without the filters
in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of
the microwave oven and remove the filter. Repeat
for the other filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot
water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or
other alkali; they will react with the filter material
and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed-
ded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to deactivate
the oven during cleaning.
