CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING
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
Disconnect the power cord or deactivate the oven with
setting Child Lock before cleaning to prevent unexpected
manipulation.
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL
(SOME MODELS)
Your microwave oven finish 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.
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. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the
microwave oven cavity. It 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 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
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.
If the turntable is making noise during use, then remove
turntable and turntable support and wash.
CAUTION
GREASE FILTER
Filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or microwave oven without the filter in
place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the
microwave oven and remove the 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.
