Care and Cleaning
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Unplug the cord 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, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils
on oven walls.
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only
mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm,
sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do
not operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.
How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or
alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave.
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 and Door
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 Surface
It's important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied
with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Stainless Steel
Do not use a steel-wool pad, it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a
clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
Power Cord
If the power 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 ddry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.
