Care and Cleaning

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, "G" is Graphite, “L” 
is CleanSteel and “B”, “W”
or “C” are plastic colors.

Stainless Steel 

The stainless steel panel
can be cleaned with
Stainless Steel Magic or a
similar product using a
clean, soft cloth. Apply
stainless cleaner carefully 
to avoid the surrounding
plastic parts. Do not use
appliance wax, polish,

bleach or products
containing chlorine on
Stainless Steel finishes. 

CleanSteel or Graphite

Use a clean, soft, light and
lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. Do
not use appliance wax,
polish, bleach or products
containing any chemical
agent on the CleanSteel 
or Graphite surfaces. 

Plastic Color Panels

Use a clean, soft, lightly
dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly. 

Door Seal

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.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and
dust on the bottom often.
Use a solution of warm
water and detergent. 

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.
