EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal 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 abrasive cleaner.
DOOR
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 harsh abrasives.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door
to inactivate the control panel before cleaning. 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. Avoid the use of excess water. Close
door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
INTERIOR- AFTER MICROWAVE
COOKING
The oven walls, ceiling and floor are stainless steel.
Cleaning after microwave cooking is easy because no
heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore,
there is no baking and setting 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 mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.
INTERIOR- AFTER CONVECTION,
MIX OR BROIL COOKING
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease.
Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse
and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if
oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/
high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to
purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within
it-not a soap filled steel pad-for use on stainless or
porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions
carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of
the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or
ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and
polish dry.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the
oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good
oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth
any food spatters from the surface of the cover imme­
diately after they occur. Built-up splashes may over­
heat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
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 ceramic turntable and turntable support can be
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy
water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge as described above. They are also
dishwasher-safe using top rack.
OVEN RACKS
The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy
cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven
when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them
in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a
mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described
above. They are dishwasher-proof.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull the tab toward the front of the oven, down slightly
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.
