MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

GeneralCleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

OVEN CAVITY

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel- wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels. Damage may occur.

On stainless steel models, rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

Average soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in oven. Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Odors

■Lemon juice or vinegar:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of either lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

The microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept clean to avoid arcing and oven damage.

■Wipe with wet cloth.

OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR
