CLEANING AND CARE
Be sure the microwave oven CONTROL LOCK feature
is ON before cleaning. See page 20 for instructions on this
feature.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated stainless steel, glass 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.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There
are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning
and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend
that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully
used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on
to it. Follow package directions carefully.
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the oven surface.
CONTROL PANEL
Be sure CONTROL LOCK is ON. See page 20 for informa-
tion on this feature. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub
or use any chemical cleaners. Close the door and turn CON-
TROL LOCK OFF if nished cleaning.
INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to interior
surfaces of the oven, so spills and splatters are not baked in.
To clean interior surfaces, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For
heavier soil, use mild soap and wipe clean with a soft, damp
cloth. Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners or chemical oven
cleaners.
Note: Never use metal scouring pads to clean the microwave
oven as pieces may break off the pad and cause electric shock
if they come in contact with electrical parts.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION
DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE
COVER.
The waveguide cover, located on the right side of the
interior cavity, is made from mica, so it requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good
microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft,
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 re.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, cooking odor may remain in the microwave
oven. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and
juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass
microwave safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using
100% power. Leave in the microwave oven until water cools.
Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
TURNTABLE AND TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy
cleaning. The turntable can become hot during cooking. Let
it cool before cleaning to prevent the glass from breaking.
The turntable and turntable support can be washed in a
dishwasher in the upper rack or by hand with mild, sudsy
water. Use a mild cleaner and non-abrasive scouring sponge
for stubborn stains.
Note: The turntable motor shaft in the oven is not sealed.
Excess water or spills must be wiped up immediately.
THE EXHAUST FEATURE
The exhaust hood feature is equipped with two grease lters.
When the Vent fan is operated, air is drawn up through the
lters and then discharged through the venting to the outside
or recirculated through the charcoal lter if not vented to
the outside.
Note: Never operate the fan or oven without the lters in
place.
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS
The reusable grease lters should be cleaned at least once a
month. In situations where aming might occur on surfaces
below the hood, lters will stop the entry of ames into the
unit.
TO CLEAN GREASE FILTERS:
1. Tur n CONTROL LOCK ON.
2. Pull down gently on the tab toward the front of the oven
and remove the lter. Repeat for the other lter.
3. Soak the lters in a sink or pan lled with hot water
and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or products with
ammonia, as this will darken the metal.
4. Use light brushing if necessary to remove any embedded
dirt.
5. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry to remove moisture before
reinstalling.
6. Replace the lters into the openings.
7. Tur n CONTROL LOCK OFF to use the oven.
