CLEANING AND CARE
Touch Control Panel:
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes
soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. This will inactivate the control panel. Wipe the
panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort of
chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.
Interior:
1. The oven walls and floor are stainless steel. For easy cleaning, wipe up any spatters
or spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge after each use, or clean with mild
detergent and water.
For heavier soil, use a mild cleanser such as Soft Scrub ® or Bon Ami ® , following
manufacturer's instructions, or use a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to
stainless steel walls, floor or turntable only; DO NOT USE CLEANSER ON OVEN
CEILING. Plastic or nylon scouring sponges or pads recommended for use on
Teflon* and Silverstone* can be used on the oven walls or turntable, but not on
the ceiling. Be sure to rinse with a damp cloth or sponge after cleaning to com-
pletely remove all cleanser residue. Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use strong chemical cleaners or harsh abrasives.
2. The ceiling of the oven has a continuous clean finish, a specially formulated
catalytic surface which permits the gradual oxidation of most soils during normal
cooking cycles. The surface will be damaged by contact with commercial oven
cleaners, abrasives, powder cleaners or scouring pads. DO NOT USE COMMER-
CIAL OVEN CLEANER.
Some manual cleaning of the continuous clean finish may be necessary if excess
spattering occurs; use a paper towel or sponge to blot up and remove excess spatter
while the oven is still warm and the soil is soft and pliable. Operate the oven empty
at 450°F convection cycle for 30 minutes or more to fully activate the continuous
clean finish.
3. The waveguide cover can be easily removed for cleaning. Slide the cover to the left,
grasp and pull down. Use mild soap and water to remove excess grease buildup
before it bakes on. The cover must be kept clean to avoid uneven microwave distri-
bution.

Turntable:
The turntable can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash the turntable in mild, sudsy water;
for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. The turn-
table is dishwasher-safe.
The turntable motor shaft is sealed, but excess water or spills should not be allowed to
stand in this area.
Door:
Wipe the window on both sides with a cloth dampened with mild soap and warm water.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.
