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 micro-
wave. 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.

Do not use cleaners
containing ammonia or
alcohol on the
microwave oven.
Ammonia or alcohol can
damage the appearance
of the microwave.
