Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the side wall inside the microwave cavity. It is
made from mica so requires special care. 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 your microwave. To remove, combine
one cup (.25 L) water, grated peel and juice of one lemon, and several whole
cloves in a two-cup (.5 L) glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100%
power, then let it cool in your microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable
Remove the turntable and wash it in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a
mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash it in the top
rack of a dishwasher.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped
up immediately.
Clean the ring and the floor regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom
surface of your microwave with mild detergent. Wash the ring in mild, soapy water
or in a dishwasher. When removing the ring, make sure that you replace it in its
original position.
