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.
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

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 (on some models)
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.
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.
