Cleaning and Maintenance
9 WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease
has solidified before attempting to clean any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
▯ For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to
keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of
food and grease build–up.
▯ Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out
with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
▯ Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or
bacon.
▯ Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
▯ Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza,
Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can
damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may
wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
Part Recommendations
Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven
walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh deter-
gents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of
1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High
power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Wire rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher.
Metal turntable tray Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.
Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Ceramic tray Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Door seal Wipe with damp cloth.
Door glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads
and oven cleaners.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accu-
mulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel sur-
faces/exterior sur-
faces
Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry,
or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stain-
less Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vine-
gar.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.

ish.
