Cleaning and Care 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 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. Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stainless steel may be used for stainless steel model. Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or one not marked for stainless steel use 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 microwave 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 Clear/Off. 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. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried. Waveguide Cover The waveguide cover is located on the right side wall of 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 and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave 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. Charcoal Filter Charcoal Filter, which was enclosed with your microwave oven, is used for nonvented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use. 1. Disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging. 2. Remove the three louver mounting screws and push down carefully on the tab at each end of the louver to disengage. (See illustration.) 3. Pull the louver away from the unit. 4. Change the charcoal filter. 5. Carefully push the louver back into place (engaging both the bottom and top tabs) and replace the screws removed in step 2.
