Care and Cleaning
Clean WaveOven� frequently to maximize oven life, performance, and efficiency. A dirty oven cooks inefficiently because moisture, spills, and grease shield light energy. If oven is not cleaned frequently, residual grease in WaveOven� can smoke during and after cooking.
Cleaning Glass Shields
Wipe shields regularly when cooking greasy food for best performance. Most cleaning does not require removing upper shield. For more thorough cleaning, remove oven racks and then glass shields. Remove upper shield before bottom shield so any falling material is caught by bottom shield. If material falls onto light bulb gently brush off with clean dry cloth. See �Removing Glass Shields� section. Clean surfaces with a clean cloth, sponge, or nylon pad, and mild detergent diluted in warm water. Wipe dry after cleaning. � Use commercial degreasers for grease laden surfaces. � Use commercially available razor to remove baked-on material and stains from glass shields. � Do not touch halogen light bulbs with hands. Oil from hands can cause premature bulb failure.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, unplug power cord or open circuit breaker to oven before cleaning.
WARNING
To avoid severe burns, wear fire proof oven mitts or use pan grips when handling utensils, racks, glass shields, and door. Allow oven to cool before reaching into oven. Oven interior can become hot during operation.
Cleaning Air Filter

Cleaning Oven Cavity and Exterior
Before cleaning, allow oven to cool for 15 minutes. Clean surfaces with a clean cloth, sponge, or nylon pad, and mild detergent diluted in warm water. Use commercial degreasers if heavily soiled.
