Caring for Your Microwave Oven

Your CRISPWAVE microwave oven has a stainless steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors found in most other microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust or cor- rode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless steel surface as the result of food particles splattering during cooking. This is normal.

•Do not use metal scouring pads, steel wool or soap-filled scouring pads on the inside oven cavity. They will scratch the surface.

•Rub in the direction of the grain line to avoid marring the surface.

•Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

•If commercial cleaners are used, follow label directions. If product contains chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water.

For stubborn soil, boil 1 cup (250 mL) of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil 1 cup (250 mL) of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas, use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

You can remove the glass turntable to clean the oven cavity floor; however, this oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place. Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable is removed for cleaning. See the “how your microwave oven works” section for more information about the turntable.

To clean the Broiling Grid, wash with steel-wool pad and warm, soapy water. Grid is dishwasher-safe.

To clean CRISPWARE™ Crisper Pan, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. Pan is dishwasher safe.
