Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.

 

19

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 with a damp cloth 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 is 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 .
Power Cord
If the 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 dry thoroughly before 

plugging cord into outlet .
Stainless Steel

 (on some models)

Do not use a steel-wood 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 a dry, clean 

cloth . Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain .
