EXTERIOR

The outside surface is painted. 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 spray and other harsh cleaners as they may

stain, streak or dull the door surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch

control panel. If the control panel becomes

soiled, open the microwave oven door

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. Close the door and touch

the

STOP/CLEAR

pad.

INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE

COOKING

Cleaning is easy because little 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 baking

soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with

hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS

DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE

MICROWAVE OVEN.

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.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual

grease may be removed from the interior ducts

and heater by simply operating the oven on

450˚F [232˚C] for 20 minutes without food.

Ventilate the room if necessary.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is made from mica so

it requires special care. Keep the waveguide

cover clean to assure good microwave oven

performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth

any food spatters from the surface of the cover

immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes

may overheat and cause smoke or possibly

catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the

microwave 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 microwave oven until cool.

Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT/

RACKS

The turntable, turntable support and racks can

be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in

mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild

cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge.

They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top rack

of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes

or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel

turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic

foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur,

wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so

excess water or spills should not be allowed to

stand in this area.
