CARE AND CLEANING
Wipe the microwave inside and out with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should
be done on a weekly basis—more often if needed. Never use rough powders or pads.
REMOVABLE PARTS
• The following removable parts may be removed as described. They should be washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use rough
cleaning powders, steel wool or rough cleaning pads.
• After each use of the temperature probe, it must be removed from the socket. Use pot holder, as the wire, plug and
sensor sections may be hot. Wipe food or liquid from the sensor with a soft damp cloth.
• The glass tray must be removed for cleaning at the sink. Wipe up spillovers with a paper towel or cloth before removal
of the tray. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges of the tray as this may cause the tray to break during use.
• The oven inside top (stirrer shield) can be gently wiped in place or removed for washing at the sink. Excessive oil
spatters on the inside top (stirrer shield) will make them difficult to remove, if left for many days. Wipe them with a wet
paper towel especially after cooking chicken or bacon. The stirrer shield sets in slots along the sides and in the rear of
the oven and is held by two tabs in front. Pull the front edge down and forward to remove. Wash only in warm (not
hot) detergent water, rinse and wipe dry. Avoid hitting or bending the metal stirrer blade, as this could cause uneven
cooking or microwave power loss. To replace the shield, slide it into the side and rear slots, and fit the front edge of
the shield with the two tabs. After replacing it, make sure that it fits securely in place.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup.
Wipe both often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use rough powders or pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel.
