BASIC CLEANING PROCEDURES
PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER
CLEANING
The oven may not be operating correctly because
it is not being cleaned properly. If the door is
leaking microwaves, erratic operation of the
display and other electrical components can
occur. Also food deposits left in the oven will turn
into black carbon from the high heat. Carbon can
cause arcing inside the cooking area and can
reflect energy back to the magnetron.
If a customer tells you they are experiencing
cooking performance problems, carefully inspect
the cooking platter and waveguide cap for chips.
If the platter or waveguide cap are chipped and
soaked in water, they will absorb the water. The
water will then be heated instead of the food
product. The chipped part must be replaced.
DAILY CLEANING
1. Carefully remove the ceramic cooking platter
and wave–guide cap. Spray both pieces only
with TurboCare
® ® ® ®
Oven Cleaner and set
aside to allow the cleaner to penetrate. DO
NOT soak the Ceramic Cook Platter or
Waveguide Cap in water.
2. Clean the ceramic cooking platter, and wave
guide cap using brushes and scrub pads.
Rinse to remove all cleaner and debris.
Inspect for damage and replace as required.
3. Reinstall the clean wave–guide cap into
the oven.
This will protect the wave–guide
seal while the cook chamber is cleaned.
4. To clean the interior of the oven, use a 3”x5”
green scrub pad. Use only TurboCare
® ® ® ®
Oven Cleaner on tough spots. DO NOT
wash out the interior cooking area. The
waveguide quartz seal is not a water tight
seal. Wipe out the oven with a damp rag. If
the door area needs cleaning, be careful not
to damage the small rubber gasket around
the door shunt area.
5. Remove the lower access panel and grease
collection pan. Empty, clean and reinstall the
pan.
6. Verify the louvers on the front and side of the
oven are clean of lint and unobstructed.

back of the oven.
