CleaningHeadiandg Care

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven during cleaning.

Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch

STOP/CLEAR.

Turntable/Turntable Support

The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-safe. Use the upper rack of the dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up im- mediately.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.

Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stainless steel may be used for the stainless steel model. Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaners or one not marked for use with stainless steel because they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

Other Exterior Surfaces

The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

Other Interior Surfaces

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking, setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
