CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. 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 RACK/
METAL TRAY/DRIP PAN
Wash the convection rack and metal tray/drip pan with a mild
soap and a soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely. Do not
use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean rack and
metal tray/drip pan.
OVEN TURNTABLE /
ROTATING RING
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They should be
handwashed 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.

scratch the edges as this could cause the turntable to break
