Kenmore Microwave Oven - Manual (Page 56)

CARE AND CLEANING
The oven cavity is made of stainless steel and should be cleaned with a detergent specially formulated for
stainless steel.
After convection cooking in particular, the interior of the oven tends to be stained with spattered oil. It is
recommended that the oven be cleaned each time after use before the oil spatters harden and become difficult
to remove.
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel should be free of food or grease buildup Wipe both often
with a mild detergent, 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.
After dehydrating foods such as onions and marinated beef jerky, it is normal to have some odor
retention in the oven for a few days.
For cleaning of the Dehydration Rack and Net, it is recommended that a mild detergent, soft cloth or
nylon brush for stubborn stains such as beef jerky marinade can be used.

REMOVABLE PARTS
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 sensor with damp cloth.
The Ceramic Tray and Metal Rack can be removed for cleaning at the sink. Wipe up spillovers with paper
towel or cloth before removal of tray.
Wash in warm soapy water and dry. Do not use rough cleaning powders, steel wood, or rough cleaning
pads.
The fan cover (inside oven top) can be gently wiped in place or removed for washing with detergent in a
sink. Handle with care when washing in a sink. The fan cover can be removed by taking out the two
screws used to hold it in place and pulling off the cover carefully. Avoid hitting or bending the metal
stirrer blade, as this cause uneven cooking or microwave power loss. To replace, set the cover in the rails
at the rear of the oven and secure it using the two screws at front.
CAUTION: Wipe the fan cover after each use to keep the food soils from falling onto the cooking
tray. The fan cover is coated with Teflon* for easy cleaning. Do not apply abrasive powders, metal or
nylon wash pads, nor any metal objects such as knives and forks to the fan cover. Hard objects and
abrasive cleaners may scratch the coating. To clean, use only a foam sponge or wash cloth with a mild
kitchen cleaner.
NOTE: Should the Teflon coating be scratched off, the oven function will not be affected.
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.
