Cleaning & Care - Sharp Carousel R-90GC Operation Manual

C L E A N I N G A N D C A R E
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to inactivate the oven dur-
ing cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated metal and plas-
tic. 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. Avoid the use of spray and other
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull
the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
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
touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
Interior - after microwave cooking.
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to
the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking
and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the inte-
rior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm wa-
ter. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEAN-
ERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use
mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER
SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY
PART OF THE OVEN.
manual/automatic speed cookings or convection cooking
Interior - after convection, mix or broil cooking.
Spatters may occur because of moisture and
grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy
water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spat-
ters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or
if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so,
you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with
liquid cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad--
for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces.
Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be
especially cautious not to get any of the liquid
cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or
any door surfaces.
Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease
may be removed from the interior ducts and heater
by simply operating the oven on 450°F. for 20 min-
utes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.
NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so re-
quires special care. Keep the waveguide cover
clean to assure good oven performance. Care-
fully 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.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
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 oven
until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Accessories
The turntable, turntable support, racks and splash
guard can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash
them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use
a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring
sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use
upper rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lem-
ons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable and
splash guard to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic
foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe
up immediately.
