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

Exterior

The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. 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 and polished dry with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

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 - after microwave cooking.

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the inte- rior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm wa- ter. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEAN- ERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DI-

RECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Interior - after grill, bake or automatic cookings.

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad--for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven using both top and bottom heaters for 20 minutes without food. See CONDITION THE HEATER on page 11. Ventilate the room if necessary.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure 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 possi- bly 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 removed for easy cleaning. Place your fingers tightly over the center of the turntable support and lift to remove it carefully to prevent touching the top heater. If the turn- table support fits firmly on to the turntable motor shaft, it may be necessary to twist the turntable support gently to remove it. Wash in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abra- sive 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.
