CARE & CLEANING (MICROWAVE CLEANING CHART)
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel 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. Cleaners which are marked specically for use with stainless steel may be used. Follow package
directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or one not marked for stainless steel use as they may stain, streak or dull
the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL
(some models)
Your microwave oven nish may be made with Easy Care
™
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm
soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought
cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is
recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
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 door and press STOP/clear.
INTERIOR
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.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is made from mica so 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 re. 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.
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use
a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable
motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
