CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer
when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking
equipment is no exception. Your Drawer Microwave must
be kept clean and maintained properly.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the
door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal 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.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are
also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and
shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that
the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used
on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it.
Follow package directions carefully.
FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the drawer surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
If desired, the touch keys may be deactivated before cleaning.
See the Control Lock information on page 17 of this manual.
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 drawer and follow directions on page 17 for
turning Control Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.
DRAWER GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a
soft dry cloth in order to keep the Drawer Microwave opening
and closing smoothly.
INTERIOR
Before cleaning the the Drawer Microwave, touch and hold
the Control Lock button for 3 seconds to lock the control pad
and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can be locked
in either the open or closed position. The display will show
LOCK ON
. This will prevent the drawer from accidentally
opening or closing during cleaning. After cleaning, touch and
hold the Control Lock button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off.
The display will show
LOCK
OFF
.
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or
spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer
sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS.
For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp
cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION
The waveguide cover, located on the inside
top of the Drawer Microwave area, is made from mica, so
it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a
soft 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 Drawer
Microwave. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated
peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a
2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several
minutes using 100% power. Leave in the Drawer Microwave
until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
