Care and cleaning of the oven.
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda
and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be sure the power is 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; 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.
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 in the microwave mode without
the turntable and support seated and in place.
Shelves
Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher.
Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
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
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.
