Cleaning and Care
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is painted. 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 cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull
the door surface.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover 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 fire. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open
the Convection 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 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 baking soda or a mild soap; rinse
thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN
CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF
THE CONVECTION 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 thor-
oughly cleaned or if there is long time/high tem-
perature 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 stain-
less 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.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
Convection 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 Convection 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 turn-
table 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.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven
during cleaning.
