WARNING:
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits
removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead
to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect
the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
MICROWAVE OVEN INTERIOR
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the
door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
The oven interior should be cleaned after each use with a damp
cloth to keep it free from grease and soil buildup. Stubborn
soils can be removed with a plastic scrub pad. When cleaning
interior surfaces and surfaces of door and oven that come
together when the door is closed, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Odors can be eliminated from the inside of the oven by boiling
a solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of
lemon juice in the oven for 5-7 minutes. This also helps loosen
any dried soil in the oven. Wipe off excess moisture after use.
NOTE:
• Do not spray or pour liquid cleansers directly onto a surface.
Spray or pour cleanser onto a cloth or sponge and then
clean.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners, abrasive
cleaning pads or steel wool, as they can scratch or dull
oven surfaces.

occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or
possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE

THE EXHAUST FEATURE
