BOTTOM VIEW
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.
See Child Lock on page 22. 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 spat-
ters 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.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the
fan or microwave oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the microwave
oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filters 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.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.
