Waveguide Cover
22
The waveguide cover is located on the right side in the microwave oven cavity.
It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean
to assure good microwave 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.
Odour Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odour may remain in the microwave oven. To remove,
combine 1 cup water, zest 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 the microwave oven until cool. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash
them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and
non-abrasive scouring sponge as described above. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use the upper rack of the dishwasher. The turntable motor
shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or
microwave oven without the filters in place.
Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the microwave oven and
remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
Soak the filter 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.
Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Light
To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit
breaker panel or by unplugging.
To release the cover, remove the screw on the light cover. (See illustration.)
DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 30 W.
Close the light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2.
CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot. Do not touch glass when light is on.
