MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally required.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the cavity ceiling below it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with warm water, detergent and a sponge. If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes.
DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS, steel- wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel. DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially if overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turntable in place.
Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.
USE A MILD DETERGENT, water and a soft cloth to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.
DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to build up around the door.
FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIancies when cleaning your microwave oven.
ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
DISHWASHER SAFE:
