To make sure your microwave
oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain
it properly.
For proper care, please follow these instructions
carefully.
Your microwave
oven has a stainless steel interior.
Unlike painted steel interiors found in most other
microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust, or
corrode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless
steel surface as the result of food products splattering
during cooking. This is normal.
Do not use metal scouring pads on the inside of oven
cavity. They will scratch the surface.
For interior surfaces:
Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non-
abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep
the areas clean where the door and oven frame
touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over
time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of
food particles spattering during cooking. This is nor-
mal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To
get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL)
of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a
soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray
glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly
on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads,
gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can
damage the control panel and the interior and
exterior oven surfaces.
For stainless steel surfaces:
• Do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pad.
• Rub in the direction of the grain line to avoid mar-
ring the surface.
• Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.
• If commercial
cleaners are used, follow label
directions. If product contains chlorine (bleach),
wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft
lint free cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.
To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in
mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild
cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and
turntable support are dishwasher-safe.
To clean the Convection
and Broiling
Rack, wash
in mild sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a
mild cleanser and scouring sponge. Rack is dish-
washer-safe.
Remove rack from oven when it is not
being used for cooking.
