MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning

products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless

otherwise noted.

GREASE FILTERS

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-

based oven cleaners.

■ Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt

and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

■ Dishwasher:

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be

trapped in the filters.

OVEN CAVITY

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-

wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.

Damage may occur.

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed

should be kept clean.

Average soil

■ Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

■ Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with

soft, lint-free cloth.

Odors

■ Lemon juice or vinegar:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of either

lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

The microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be

kept clean to avoid arcing and oven damage.

■ Wipe with wet cloth.

OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR

The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed

should be kept clean.

■ Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■ Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic

scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-

wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may

occur.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

■ Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

COOKING RACK

RACK SUPPORTS
