Cleaning anD Care

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.

stainless steel surfaCe  

The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and 

polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There 

are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning 

and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend 

that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully 

used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on 

to it. Follow package directions carefully.

frOnt siDe Of tHe DraWer

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to 

remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to 

maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid 

the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, 

streak or dull the drawer surface.

tOuCH COntrOl panel

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. 

See the Control Lock information on page 18 of this manual.

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. Close drawer and follow directions on 

page 18 for turning Control Lock off. Touch

Cleaning 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, including drawer 

sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE 

ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING 

PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft 

damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

MiCrOWave DraWer guiDes 

Remove the food crumbs from the Microwave Drawer guides. 

Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Microwave 

Drawer opening and closing smoothly. 

WaveguiDe COver   

ATTENTION

 The waveguide cover, located on the inside 

top of the Microwave Drawer area, is made from mica, so 

it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to 

assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with 

a soft 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 Microwave 

Drawer. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel 

and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup 

glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes 

using 100% power. Leave in the Microwave Drawer until 

water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
