Microwave Oven
Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any
part of your microwave oven.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable
into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully
in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
The turntable and support can be broken
if dropped. Remember, do not operate the
microwave oven without the turntable and
support in place.
To replace the support, place its center post in
the hole. Turn the support around until it seats
into place.
Inside
Keep the microwave oven clean and sweet-
smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes
after cooking helps air out the interior. An
occasional thorough wiping with a solution of
baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.
Spills and spatters are easy to remove from
walls and floor if they are wiped up soon after
the food is removed. Some spatters wipe up
with a paper towel, some may require a damp
cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy
cloth, then rinse and dry.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.
Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside
of the door daily. When the window is soiled,
wash it with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly
and dry.
Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside
of the door frequently. Use a damp cloth to
remove all soil.
Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders
or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the
surface.
Outside
Clean the outside of the microwave oven with
soap and a damp cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a
damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp
cloth and then with a dry towel.
Door Surface
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together on closing the door, use only
mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or
soft cloth.

WARNING:
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the
cooking center.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of
the product, the safest way to remove the
adhesive left from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or
cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe
dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must
be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be
removed if it is baked on.
