MAINTENANCE

CARING FOR YOUR

MICROWAVE OVEN

To make sure the microwave oven looks good and

works well for a long time, maintain it properly. For

proper care, 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.

Keep the

areas clean where the door

and oven frame touch when

closed.

Wipe well with a clean cloth.

Over time, stains can occur 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

sprayed with glass cleaner.

Apply the 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 glass tray

and rotating ring,

wash in

mild, sudsy water.

For heavily soiled areas

use a mild cleanser and

scouring sponge.

The glass tray and rotating

ring are dishwasher safe.
