occur if microwave oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high
temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with
liquid cleaner within it —not a soap filled steel pad—for use on stainless or
porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially
cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or
ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.
WavEGuiDE covEr
The waveguide cover is made from mica so it 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.

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.

top rack.
microWavE ovEn rackS
The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored
away from the microwave oven when racks are not needed. After each use, wash
them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser

GrEaSE filtErS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or
microwave oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull the ring toward the front of the microwave oven, down slightly and
remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filters 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.
