Whirlpool Essential Maintenance and Cleaning Guide for Your Microwave Oven

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-

quired. It must be carried out with the micro- wave oven disconnected.

FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition

could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE

CLEANSERS, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or shap metal scrapers, etc. which can damage the control panel, the glass, and

the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.

DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.

AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially if spill

overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.

THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta- ble in place.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for clean- ing.

USE A SOFT AND DAMP CLOTH with mild detergent

to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.

DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to build up around the door.

FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.

ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac-

ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.

DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when

cleaning your microwave oven.

THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it may need regular clean- ing. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent.

IF THE GRILL IS NOT USED REGULARLY, it should be

run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.

CAREFUL CLEANING:

THE CRISP-PLATEshould be cleaned in mild, de- tergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned with a scouring cloth

and a mild cleanser. ALWAYS let the crisp-plate

cool off before cleaning.

	DO NOT immerse or rinse with water while
	the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may
	damage it.
	DO NOT USE STEEL-WOOL PADS. This will scratch
	the surface.
