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 with a sudsy cloth.
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window
clean with a damp cloth.
Glass Door (on some models)
Wipe with a clean damp sponge.
Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning
sprays, large amounts of soap and
water, abrasives or sharp objects on
the panel—they can damage it.
Stainless Steel Control Panel and Door
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use a hot, damp cloth with a mild
detergent suitable for stainless steel
surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth
to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean
cloth.
If food soil remains, try a general
kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik
®
,
Simple Green
®
or Formula 409
®
.
For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard
stainless steel cleaner, such as
Bon-Ami
®
or Cameo
®
.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean
cloth. Always scrub lightly in the
direction of the grain.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel
polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic
®
,
Revere Copper and Stainless Steel
Cleaner
®
or Wenol All Purpose
Metal Polish
®
. Follow the product
instructions for cleaning the stainless
steel surface.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the
bottom often. Use a solution of warm
water and detergent.
Vent Grill
Use warm soapy water and a dishcloth
to wipe off the grill. If desired, use
cotton swabs to get in between the
grill louvers.
Door Frame
It’s important to keep the area clean
where the door seals against the
oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable
vent filters.
Ovens configured to recirculate air
back into the room should also use
a charcoal filter.
