CLEANING AND CARE

7
Be sure the microwave oven Control Lock feature is ON
before cleaning. For instructions, see page 19.
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. For instructions, see page
19. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water
only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any chemi-
cal cleaners. Close the door and turn OFF Control Lock if
finished 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 chemi-
cal 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
DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
ATTENTION
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 fire.

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
filters. When the Vent fan is operated, air is drawn up through
the filters and then discharged through the venting to the
outside or recirculated through the charcoal filter if not vented
to the outside.
Note: Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in
place.
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS
The reusable grease filters should be cleaned at least
once a month. In situations where flaming might occur on
surfaces below the hood, filters will stop the entry of flames
into the unit.
TO CLEAN GREASE FILTERS:
1. Turn ON Control Lock.
2. Pull down gently on the tab toward the front of the oven
and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
3. Soak the filters in a sink or pan filled 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
residue.
5. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry to remove moisture before
reinstalling.
