Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly.

For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces:

Wash

often with warm,

sudsy water and

a sponge or soft

cloth.

Use

only mild,

nonabrasive soaps or

a mild detergent.

sure to keep the areas
clean where the door
and oven frame touch
when closed.

Wipe

well with a clean cloth.

Over time, stains can appear on the surfaces as the

result of food particles spattering during cooking.

This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for

2 to 3 minutes. Steam

will soften the soil. To

get rid of odors inside

the oven, boil a cup of

water with some lemon

juice or vinegar in it.

For exterior surfaces and control panel:

Use a

soft cloth with spray

glass cleaner. Apply the

spray glass cleaner to

the soft cloth; do not

spray directly on the

oven.

NOTE: Abrasive
cleansers, steel wool
pads, gritty wash
cloths, some paper

towels, etc.,

can damage the control panel and the

interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean the turntable and turntable support,

wash

in mild, sudsy

water; for heavily

soiled areas

use

a mild

cleanser and scouring

sponge. The turntable

and turntable support are

dishwasher safe.

To clean the crisping tray and grill rack, wash

with

a mild cleaner, water,

and a wash cloth. Dry

completely. Do not use

abrasive cleanser or

scrubbers.
