CLEANING AND CARE
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 specifically 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 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.
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
CANCEL�
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 which 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.
