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 abra-
sive cleaner.
Door
Be careful with the edge of the oven door as it is glass
and could chip or break. 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.
Touch Control Panel
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.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set-
ting 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.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the 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 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.
CLEANING AND CARE
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the right side wall
of the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to as-
sure 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.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the
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.
