ing cleaning.
Exterior
The front of the microwave oven is stainless steel.
The sides and top are painted metal. Clean with
mild soap and water; rince and dry with a soft cloth.
You may wish to purchase a stainless steel polish
for enhancing the appearance of the oven front.
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. Avoid the use of spray and other
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull
the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
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
touch
STOP/CLEAR
pad.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated
to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no bak-
ing 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 thor-
oughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN
CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF
THE OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so re-
quires special care. Keep the waveguide cover
clean to assure good oven performance. Care-
fully 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
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 oven
until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable / Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be re-
moved for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild
cleanser and a 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.
