CARE AND CLEANING

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

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.
