CARE AND CLEANING
Exterior
The outside surface is pre-coated 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 cleanser.
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 cleansers
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 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
cleaner. Close the door and touch STOP/
CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is
generated at 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 CLEANSERS OR SCOURING
PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or
a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot
water.
Turntable and Support
The turntable and 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 the dishwasher. The turntable motor
shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills
should be wiped up immediately.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the
ceiling in the oven cavity. It is made from
mica so requires special care. Keep the
waveguide cover clean to assure good
oven performance. With a damp cloth,
carefully wipe 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 WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain
in the 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 oven
until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a
month. Never operate the fan or oven
without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the
front of the oven and remove the filter.
Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled
with hot water and detergent. DO NOT
use ammonia or other alkali; they will
react with the filter material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove
embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the
opening.
