Cleaning and maintaining your microwave oven
Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off
unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.
Cleaning the exterior
It's best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a
soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
CAUTION
Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive products or chemical
solvents such as ammonia or alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your
microwave.
WARNING
Unplug the microwave plug before cleaning.
Cleaning under your microwave oven
Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a
solution of warm water and detergent.
Cleaning the control panel
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily
damaged.

Cleaning the door and door seals
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take
particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate
and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild
soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
NOTE
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam
can accumulate when you operate the oven when humidity is high and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
To avoid injury, ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning
it.
CAUTION
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent
the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately
after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the turntable and roller rings
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The
turntable can be washed safely in your dishwasher.
