before cleaning. 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 press STOP/clear.
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 waveguide cover 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 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.

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.

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.
