Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

Your microwave oven has a stainless steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors found in most other microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust, or corrode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless steel surface as the result of food products splattering during cooking. This is normal.

Do not use metal scouring pads on the inside of oven cavity. They will scratch the surface.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non- abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is nor- mal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL) of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

For stainless steel surfaces:

Do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pad.

Rub in the direction of the grain line to avoid mar- ring the surface.

Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

If commercial cleaners are used, follow label directions. If product contains chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft lint free cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher-safe.

To clean the Convection and Broiling Rack, wash in mild sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. Rack is dish- washer-safe. Remove rack from oven when it is not being used for cooking.
