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

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

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control

panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the

oven door before cleaning. 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.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the

oven cavity. It 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 imme-

diately after they occur. Built-up splashes may over-

heat 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 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.

Turntable

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.
