Helpful Hints

Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air

out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a

solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on

the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel,

others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy

spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils

on oven walls.

To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that

come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or

detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth

and dry.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your

microwave.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into

water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy

water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support

can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate

the oven without the turntable and support in place.
