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

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated steel 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 abra- sive cleaner.

Door

Be careful with the edge of the oven door as it is glass and could chip or break. 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. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

Touch Control Panel

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.

Interior

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set- ting 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. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.

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.

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-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is located on the right side wall of the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to as- sure 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.

Grease Filters

Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.

1.Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.

2.Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the filter material and darken it.

3.Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed- ded dirt.

4.Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.

5.Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
