combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
— Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles
from paper or plastic containers before
placing them in the oven.
— Do not use your microwave/convection
oven to dry newspapers.
— Do not use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
— Do not pop popcorn in your microwave/
convection oven unless in a special microwave
popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn
labeled for use in microwave ovens.
— Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
— Do not operate the oven while empty to
avoid damage to the oven and the danger
of fire. If by accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm is done.
However, try to avoid operating the oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
— Do not use the Sensor Features twice
in succession on the same food portion.
If food is undercooked after the first
countdown, use MICRO COOK for
additional cooking time.
— Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
— If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
When using the convection or combination
cooking functions, both the outside and inside
of the oven will become hot. Always use hot
pads to remove containers of food and
accessories such as the metal accessory rack
and temperature probe.
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave/convection
oven because they increase the risk of electric
shock and could cause a fire.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can burn off the pad and touch electrical
parts involving risk of electric shock.
Do not use paper products when the
microwave/convection oven is operated
in the convection or combination mode.
Do not store any materials, other than our
recommended accessories, in this oven when
not in use.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed glass jars—
are able to explode and should not be heated in
this microwave/convection oven. Such use of
the microwave/convection oven could result
in injury.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is
thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the
heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when
warming formula or breast milk. The container
may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Use foil only as directed in this guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays
less than 3/4high; remove top foil cover and
return tray to box. When using foil in the
microwave/convection oven, keep foil at least
1away from sides of oven.
Do not cover the shelf or any other part of
the oven with metal foil. This will cause over-
heating of the microwave/convection oven.
• Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can
become too hot to touch. Be careful touching
the floor and walls during and after cooking.
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta)
may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to the Care and Cleaning section(s) for
instructions on how to clean the inside of
the oven.
Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking
or oven thermometers when cooking by
microwave or combination. The metal and
mercury in these thermometers could cause
“arcing” and possible damage to the oven.
Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is
designed or recommended for use in the
microwave/convection oven.
Remove the temperature probe from
the oven when not using it to cook with.
If you leave the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on
microwave energy, it can create electrical
arcing in the oven, damage oven walls and
damage the temperature probe.
Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe
plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic materials,
and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking. In longer exposures
to overcooking, the food and cookware
could ignite.
For these reasons:
1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturers recommendations.
2) Do not subject empty cookware to
microwaving.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to
at least an INTERNAL 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne
illness.
SAFETY FACT—Superheated water.
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time
before removing the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
Do not boil eggs in a microwave/convection
oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk
and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting
in injury.
• Foods with unbroken outer ‘skin’
such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave/convection ovens. Check the
package for proper use.
‘Boilable’ cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic
wrap, remove covering carefully and direct
steam away from hands and face.
• Hot foods and steam can cause
burns. Be careful when opening
any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct steam away
from hands and face.
• Use of the shelf accessory.
Use pot holders when handling the shelf and
cookware. They will be hot.
Never use the shelf for microwave-only
cooking. Remove the shelf from the oven
when microwave-only cooking.
Always place the shelf on the floor of the
oven for convection and combination
cooking.

MICROWAVING TIPS
Make sure all cookware used in your
microwave/convection oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or
china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim
or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled ‘‘suitable for microwaving.’
If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test:
Place in the oven
both the dish you
are testing and a
glass measuring
cup filled with
1 cup of water—
set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging.
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1–10)
Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave
cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on a range. High
(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook
and gives you 100% power. Each power level gives you
microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power
Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
Level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown
with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food
would cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power
levels:
POWER LEVEL BEST USES
High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderizing
such as stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening butter.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press MICRO COOK or TIME DEFROST.
2. Select cooking or defrosting time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select desired power
level 1–10.
5. Press START.

WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options. Microwave cooking
uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves through the food
generates heat and cooks most foods faster than
regular methods, while retaining their natural
texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of
the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated
air around the food, creating even browning and
sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air
over the food surfaces.
Your new oven also offers the option of combination
cooking, using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with speed and
accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time desired and your
oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by
temperature, by these methods, using the temperature
probe to determine the doneness by the internal
temperature of the food. This method takes the
guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off
automatically when the food reaches the desired
temperature.
The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor
Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your
microwave cooking for you. They are easy and
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions
in this guide. A sensor detects steam from the food
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion—it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked
after the countdown, use MICRO COOK for
additional cooking time.
Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and
convection to roast meats to perfection.
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time
and power levels for you. Enter the food weight in
pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START
pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and
changes power levels during defrosting to give even
defrosting results.
The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program
the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if
you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be
used like an alarm clock.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection and combination
cooking.

Convection Cooking
METAL PANS are recommended for all types of
baked products, but especially where browning or
crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads
and pies because they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies
or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due
to the cleanability of glass.
Combination Cooking
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers
are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall
or metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the
shelf or the oven.
HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware
(safe to 400°F) may be used, but it is not recommended

DEFROSTING BY TIME
Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
• Power Level 3 is automatically set when you press
TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for
more flexibility.
• See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.
To become better acquainted with the defrost

Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or
plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly
closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented,
AFTER food has partially
defrosted, as directed by
package. Plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
• Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
• For even defrosting, some
foods need to be broken up
or separated part of the
way through the defrosting
time.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping
noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
magnetron is in operation.
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention
than usual. Raise the power level after entering
the time by touching the desired power level pad.
Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium
Step 1: Insert temperature probe and attach probe
securely in oven wall. Close the door.
Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/HOLD pad.
Step 3: Touch 1, 6 and 0 for 160°F.
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch 5 for
medium power.
Step 5: Touch the START pad. If internal temperature
of the roast is less than 90°F, display will show
‘COOL’; if temperature is 90°F or above, display
shows temperature counting up.
Step 6: When 160°F is reached, the oven will sound
and display ‘‘Hold.’ The oven will then hold the
temperature for up to one hour.
Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle.
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.
Cooking Tips
Use a lower power level; foods will heat more
evenly though requiring more time.
Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted
before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used
in frozen foods.
Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick,
even heating.
Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty
area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.
COOKING BY TEMPERATURE
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness
for many foods.
Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to
the desired finished food temperature. The Micro
Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs,
frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.
Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’
setting after reaching the preset food temperature
and maintains that temperature until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’
when preset food temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer
that gauges the internal temperature of your food.
Use the probe when you want to Convection Cook
or Combination Cook to a preferred internal
temperature. (Its appearance may vary from picture
shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp
Cook/Hold or Combination Roast. To use the probe
properly, follow directions in the Combination
Roasting section.

Questions and Answers
Q. Why did ‘‘PRObE’ flash on the display?
A. ‘PRObE’ will flash if you don’t seat the
cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle
in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP
COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not
inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage
the oven.

A. No. This automatic function is designed to be used
only with prepackaged microwave popcorn.
Q. When I touched the POPCORN pad, the oven
signalled and “HOT” appeared in the display,
and the feature would not operate. Why?
A. If the temperature inside the oven is greater than
200°, the sensor will not operate properly as the oven
does not allow the sensor cooking feature to be used.
SENSOR REHEAT
Sensor Reheat is designed for reheating single
serving sizes of previously prepared foods. With

CONTAINERS AND COVERS
Containers and Covers
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good cooking results.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if
it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in
the Microwaving Tips section.
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they
can prevent steam from escaping and cause food
to overcook.
Match the amount of food to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full for
best results.
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into steam can mislead the sensor.
Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal,
if required. See the Sensor Cooking Control
Guide section.
• Do not open oven door during cycle. When oven
signals and countdown time is displayed, door may
be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.
To resume cooking, close door and touch START.
• Match the amount of food to the size of container.
Fill containers at least 1/2 full.

Containers and Covers Sensor Cooking Guide Convection Time Cooking
CONVECTION TIME COOKING
During convection cooking, a heating element is
used to raise the temperature of the air inside the
oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F
may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this
heated air throughout the oven, over and around
the food, producing golden brown exteriors and
rich, moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving,
not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop
around the food, some foods cook faster than in

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE COOKING
You can also convection cook with the temperature probe, to assure
that foods are cooked precisely to the degree of doneness desired, while
the constantly circulating hot air assures even cooking and delicious
browning. The temperature probe monitors the internal temperature
of the food and turns the oven off automatically when the desired
temperature is reached.
How to Convection Temperature Cook
Step 1: Insert probe in
food as directed in the
Cookbook or in this
guide. Plug other end of
probe securely into wall
receptacle.
Step 2: Touch Convection COOK pad.
Step 3: Enter oven temperature by touching the
number pads that correspond with the desired oven
temperature. For example, touch 2, 2, 5 for 225°F.
Step 4: Touch the appropriate number pads in
sequence to enter the desired food temperature.
Any food temperature from 90°F to 199°F may be
programmed. For example, touch 1, 8 and 0, in that
order, for 180°F. The temperature selected is shown
on the display.
Step 5: Touch START pad. When food
reaches preselected temperature, display
shows “End,” oven signals and turns off.

Questions and Answers
Q. After I preheated my oven, I tried to set
cooking time, but nothing happened.
What is the problem?
A. Until you open the oven door or touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad, the oven remains in the preheat
mode and no further instructions can be entered.
After 1 hour oven automatically turns off.
Q. Can I check during the cooking cycle to be sure
that I have set the correct oven temperature?
A. Yes. If you touch the Convection COOK pad at
any time during cooking, the selected oven
temperature is displayed on the display.
Q. Can I store the probe in the oven when it is not
in use?
A. Leaving the probe in the oven is not recommended.
If you forget and leave it in during cooking,
without having inserted it in food, damage to the
probe or to the oven may result.

COMBINATION TIME COOKING
Convection Temperature Cooking Combination Time Cooking
Combination cooking offers the best features of microwave energy
and convection cooking. Microwaves cook food fast and convection
circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully.
Questions and Answers Remember:
Q. May I use my metal roasting pan to
Combination Cook a roast?
A. No. Do not use metal cookware when Combination
cooking. Place the roast in a glass dish.
Q. Is it necessary to place a glass dish on the oven
floor when Combination cooking?
A. No. For best roasting results, place the glass dish
on the oven shelf which rests on the oven floor
during Combination cooking.
• Check the Cookware and Accessories section
for correct cookware when Combination cooking.
• For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts
and poultry should be cooked in a dish placed
directly on the oven shelf.
• Place meat in a glass dish on a trivet to collect juices
and prevent spattering.
• Some recipes call for preheating.

With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of
combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe. The
probe makes it simple to cook to the exact degree of doneness desired,
by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This function is
exactly like combination time cooking except you set internal food
temperature desired instead of cooking time.
How to Combination Temperature Cook
Step 1: Insert probe in
food as directed in the
Cookbook or in this
guide. Plug other end of
probe securely into wall
receptacle.
Step 2: Touch COMBINATION

Combination Temperature Cooking Combination Roast
COMBINATION ROAST
Combination Roast is a combination function
which is similar to combination temperature
cooking, using both microwave and convection
cooking in conjunction with the temperature
probe. However, the Combination Roast feature
eliminates most of the steps necessary to program
combination temperature cooking.
The metal shelf must be in place
on the oven floor when using
convection or combination
cooking. The food is placed in a
glass dish on a trivet for cooking
during Combination Roast.
Step 1: Insert temperature probe into meat and plug
the probe firmly into oven wall receptacle.
Step 2: Touch the COMBINATION
ROAST pad once for cooking your
roast to MEDium doneness. Touch the
pad twice for cooking to “WELL”.
Step 3: Touch START. When food reaches
the programmed temperature for proper
degree of doneness, the oven will sound
and display “Hold”. The oven will then
hold the temperature for up to one hour.

Questions and Answers
Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like
legs and wings often overcook before the rest of
the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I
prevent this?
A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry may be shielded
with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow
foil to touch shelf or oven sides, arcing may occur.
Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very
accurate results, but this time it didn’t. What
happened?
A. If the temperature probe is positioned touching fat
or bone, an inaccurate reading may result. Be sure
to place the probe in solid muscle, usually the
thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry, or
in the center of a meat loaf or casserole.
Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in the
guides to reach the desired internal
temperature. Why?
A. If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold
or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time
than meat which has been merely refrigerated.
Times shown in the guides are usually for meats
that are refrigerator temperature.
Q. Do most meats require standing time after
cooking with Combination Roast?
A. You may want to let meats stand briefly, to allow
easier carving and serving. Most meat roasts
continue to cook for a few minutes after removing
from the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING
Keep your oven clean and sweet-
smelling. Opening the oven door
a few minutes after cooking helps
air out the inside. An occasional
thorough wiping with a solution
of baking soda and water keeps
the inside fresh.
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils on
your oven. The inside and outside
oven walls can be scratched. The
control panel can be damaged.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OVEN.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed
with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth.
Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse
with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily
and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently
with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS
OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL
DAMAGE THE SURFACE.
Special note when using Brown ’N Sear Dish:
If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom
of a Brown ’N Sear dish may cause the grease to
burn onto the oven tray. This may be removed with
a cleanser such as Bon Ami®brand cleanser.
After using Bon Ami®brand cleanser, rinse and dry
thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use
Bon Ami®brand cleanser on the painted surfaces
such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.
Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy,
but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist
or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.
Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean,
wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic
scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in
dishwasher.
Shelf. Clean the shelf with mild soap and water or
in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning
oven.
How to Clean the Outside
Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and
damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry.
Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome
trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with
a dry towel.
Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp
objects on the panel—they can damage it.
Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together on closing the door, use only
mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with
a sponge or soft cloth.
Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and
wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy
water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging
cord into outlet.
