Microwave DRAWER

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.

Microwave Drawer Guides

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

Waveguide Cover

ATTENTION The waveguide cover (located on the inside top of the microwave drawer 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 Microwave 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 Microwave Drawer until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

OVEN

CAUTION Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned off. If not, press Stop/Clear.

Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

Inside of the door

You do not need to clean the area inside the gasket by hand since the area is cleaned during the self-clean cycle.

Do not rub, clean or move the door gasket. Replace gasket when it is worn or frayed.

The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
