EXTERIOR
The  outside surface  is  precoated  metal  and  plastic. 
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; 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 harsh abrasives.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care  should  be  taken  in  cleaning  the  touch  control 
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the 
oven door to inactivate the control panel before clean-
ing. 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. Avoid the use of excess 
water. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
INTERIOR- AFTER MICROWAVE 
COOKING
The oven walls,  ceiling and floor are  stainless steel. 
Cleaning after microwave cooking is easy because no 
heat  is  generated  to  the interior  surfaces;  therefore, 
there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To 
clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and 
warm  water.  DO  NOT  USE  ABRASIVE  OR  HARSH 
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, 
use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.
INTERIOR- AFTER CONVECTION,                            
MIX OR BROIL COOKING
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. 
Wash  immediately  after  use  with  hot,  soapy  water. 
Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may 
occur if 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 located on the ceiling in the 
oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special 
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good 
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. 
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the 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  oven  until  cool.  Wipe  interior 
with a soft cloth.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE 
SUPPORT
The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be 
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy 
water;  for  stubborn  stains  use  a  mild  cleanser  and 
scouring sponge as described above. They are also 
dishwasher-safe using top rack. 
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  and  scouring  sponge  as  described 
above. They are dishwasher-proof.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never 
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull the tab toward the front of the 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.
