Maintenance
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease
build-up. Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe
the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild
detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome
cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum
surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean
your oven weekly or more often, if needed.
CONVECTION/BROILING
RACKS/DRIP PAN
Wash the convection and broiling racks and metal tray/drip
pan with a mild soap and a soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry
completely. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean
racks and metal tray/drip pan.
OVEN TURNTABLE/ROTATING
RING
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They should be
handwashed in warm (not hot) water and a mild detergent. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. DO NOT use cleaning powders,
abrasives, steel wool, or other rough pads. DO NOT put in an
automatic dishwasher.
• Turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this could cause the turntable to break
during use.
