Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then 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. Control panel If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave 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 the door and press STOP/CLEAR to clear any buttons you may have pressed. Cleaning the inside of your microwave Interior Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add lemon juice if you want to keep your microwave fresh smelling) in a four-cup measuring cup at high power for five minutes or until boiling. Let it cool in the microwave, then wipe the interior with a soft cloth. Waveguide cover The waveguide cover is located on the right wall inside your microwave. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave 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. Removing odors Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, lemon juice, and several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes at high power, then let it cool in the microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth. Turntable and turntable support Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately. Cleaning and replacing the filters Cleaning the exhaust filters The exhaust filters should be removed and cleaned about once a month. CAUTION Do not operate the oven hood without the filters properly in place. 16 www.insigniaproducts.com
