CARE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the power supply cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS - 

Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, or it could lead 

to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous 
situation.

Exterior:

The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh 
abrasive cleaners. Keep the ventilation openings free of dust.

Door:

Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove 
any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Touch Control Panel:

Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only.
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.

Interior walls:

To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. After use wipe the waveguide cover in the 
oven with a soft damp cloth to remove any food splashes. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or 
catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover. DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER, ABRASIVE OR 
HARSH CLEANERS AND SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN 
CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.
Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is removed with a soft cloth.

Turntable/Roller Stay:

Wash with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.
