CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety,
keep the oven clean inside and out-
side. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame free of food or grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and
out, including the hood bottom cover,
with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse
and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner
and polish on chrome, metal and
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters
immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking chicken or
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or
more often, if needed.
CONVECTION /
BROILING RACK
Wash the convection and broiling
rack with a mild soap and a soft or
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or
cleaners to clean rack.
OVEN TURNTABLE /
ROTATING RING
The turntable and rotating ring are
removable. They should be hand-
washed in warm (not hot) water and
a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth. DO NOT use cleaning
powders, abrasives, steel wool, or
other rough pads. DO NOT put in an
automatic dishwasher.
• Turntable may be cleaned at the
sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this could
cause the turntable to break during
use.
