Note: If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the exhaust vent hood will automatically turn on at the High setting to cool the oven. The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. When this occurs, the vent cannot be turned off.

Heating with lower power levels

Using the highest power level to heat foods with does not always give the best results when some types of food need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods or custards. Your oven has nine other power levels you may choose.

DOOR

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL/ SMUDGE_PROOF™ STAINLESS STEEL/ BLACK STAINLESS STEEL(SOME MODELS)

Your microwave oven (some models) may have a Stainless Steel finish or coating. Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth.

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/Cancel.

INTERIOR

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces. 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 round wire rack and shelf can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is located on the right side in the microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave 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 possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
