CLEAN AND CARE
Exterior
The outside surface is percolated 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 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. 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 setting 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.
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 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 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 as described above. 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.
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 filter 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 embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Fan
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners. This protects the microwave
oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off
manually during this time.
Grease filter
Tab
For other uses, select either HI or LO speed.
Light
1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
2. To release cover, remove the screw on the light cover. (See illustration.)
3. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.
4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2.
