Cleaning and Care

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. 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.

Stainless Steel Surface

(Select Models)

The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the Microwave In-A- Drawer™. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.

Front Side Of The Drawer

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray cleaners and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

Touch Control Panel

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Control Lock information on page 13 of this manual. 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 follow directions on page 14 for turning Control Lock off. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

Interior

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

Drawer Guides

Remove the food crumbs from the Drawer guides. Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Drawer opening and closing smoothly.

Waveguide Cover

ATTENTION The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Microwave area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft 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.

Odor Removal

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