CARE AND CLEANING
Wipe the microwave oven inside and outside 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 cleaning powders or rough
pads. Excessive oil spatters on the top of the interior cavity will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking chicken or bacon.
Stubborn soils: Boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 minutes. Steam will
soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with
some lemon juice in it.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following 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 cleaning
powders, steel wool or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned in the sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.
It may be washed in the dishwasher.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly. It may be washed
in the dishwasher.
The metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month or as needed.
Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub to remove
embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use
ammonia, corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaner. Do
not place in a dishwasher. The filter will turn black or could be damaged.
