Cleaning Various Parts of Your Microwave Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS
AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE EXTENT AND DIF-
FICULTY OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

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. 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.
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.
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 waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the microwave oven cavity. It is
made from mica so it 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.
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.
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 may also be dishwasher cleaned. Clean the turntable support in upper
rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills
should be wiped up immediately.
