Cleaning Guide
▯
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to
keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of
food and grease build-up.
▯
Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out
with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Rinse and wipe completely dry.
▯
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or
bacon.
▯
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
▯
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside
the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the
oven is accidentally turned on.
Part Recommendations
Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the
oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap.
DO NOT use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of
1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh-smelling) in a 4 cup microwave-safe dish at
High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Glass turntable tray Remove glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.
NOTICE: To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in
water immediately after cooking.
Wash the glass turntable tray in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Turntable roller rest Clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Door glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik ® or Formula 409 ® on a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning
agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can
accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave
leakage.
Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik ® or Formula 409 ® to a clean sponge or paper
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning agents, steel wool
pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel sur-
faces
Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and
dry, or wipe with Fantastik ® sprayed on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel
Magic ® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.
Do not use any cleanser that contains chlorine as these may rust the stainless steel.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Printed areas
(words & numbers)
