Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven dur- ing cleaning.

Exterior

The front of the microwave oven is stainless steel. The sides and top are painted metal. Clean with mild soap and water; rince and dry with a soft cloth. You may wish to purchase a stainless steel polish for enhancing the appearance of the oven front. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door

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 pad.

Interior

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no bak- ing and setting 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 thor- oughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica so re- quires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Care- fully 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.

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 re- moved for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a 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.
