CARE & CLEANING (MICROWAVE CLEANING CHART)
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a
soft cloth. 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. Cleaners which are marked specifi cally for use with stainless steel
may be used. Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or one not marked for stainless
steel use as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL (some models)
Your microwave oven fi nish may be made with Easy Care
™
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with
warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT
use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive,
chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and
vinegar.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave
oven door 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 OFF.
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.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
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 fi re. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
ODOR REMOVAL
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.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
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.
