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 detergents or
abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food parti-
cles 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

in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
For baked-on grease spatters, wash
with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
