CLEANING AND CARE
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal 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.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
(SELECT MODELS)
The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There
are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning
and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend
that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully
used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on
to it. Follow package directions carefully.
FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the drawer surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.
See the Control Lock information on page 16 of this manual.
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 drawer and follow directions on page
16 for turning Control Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.
INTERIOR
Before cleaning the the Microwave Drawer, press and hold
the Control Lock button for 3 seconds to lock the control
pad and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can
be locked in either the open or closed position. The display
will show
LOCK ON
. This will prevent the drawer from
accidentally opening or closing during cleaning. After
cleaning, press and hold the Control Lock button for
3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will show
LOCK
OFF
.
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, including drawer
sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING
PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.
MICROWAVE DRAWER GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the Microwave Drawer guides.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Microwave
Drawer opening and closing smoothly.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION
The waveguide cover, located on the inside
top of the Microwave Drawer area, is made from mica, so
it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with
a soft 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 re. Do
not remove the waveguide cover.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Microwave
Drawer. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel
and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup
glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes
using 100% power. Leave in the Microwave Drawer until
water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
