Care and Cleaning
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda
and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning
any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts
on the Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel;
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven
walls.
Never use a commercial oven
cleaner on any part of your
microwave.
How to Clean the Outside
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia
or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of
the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common
household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a
clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse
and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
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. Some paper towels
can also scratch the control panel.
Door Panel
Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know what
type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of the model
number. "S" is stainless steel, "L" is CleanSteel and "B", "W" or
"C" are plastic colors.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel

in the microwave mode without the turntable and support
seated and in place.

Clean with mild soap and
water or in the dishwasher.
