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
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.
Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stainless steel
may be used for stainless steel model. Follow package directions
exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or one not marked for
stainless steel use 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 Clear/Off.
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 right side wall of 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.

used for nonvented, recirculated installation. The filter should be
