The outside surface is painted, 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.

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
the door and touch the STOP/CLEAR pad,
Interior- after microwave
cooking
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. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
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 spatters 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 minutes without food.
Ventilate the room if necessary.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so it 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. Builtoup 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 microwave
oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and
juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2ocup
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/
Racks
The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed
for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for
stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a nonoabrasive
scouring sponge. They are also dishwasheroproof. Use top
rack of dishwasher for turntable support,
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will
cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not
cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills
occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or
spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
