MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired.
F
AILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
D
O NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS,
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-
wool pads, gritty wash-
cloths, etc. which can
damage the control pan-
el, and the interior and exterior oven sur-
faces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
A
T REGULAR INTERVALS, especially if spill
overs have occurred, remove the
turntable, the turntable support
and wipe the base of the oven
clean.
T
HIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta-
ble in place.
DO NOT operate the microwave oven
when the turntable has been removed
for cleaning.
U
SE A MILD DETERGENT, water and a soft cloth to
clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the
door and the door opening.
D
O NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to
build up around the door.
D
O NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when
cleaning your microwave oven.
A
DDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac-
ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few
minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
F
OR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
T
HE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since
the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but
the ceiling above it may need regular cleaning.
This should be done with warm water, deter-
gent and a sponge. If the Grill is not used reg-
ularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month
to burn off any splashes.
Push the fastening
thread gently to-
wards the back of
the ceiling and then
lower it to release
the grill element.
Return the fastening
thread to its original
position after clean-
ing.
