1. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven [and Middle shelf
(NN-2146-2/2156-2 only)] clean. If pieces of food or
spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between
door seal and door surface, they will absorb
microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe
up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or
Food Sanitizer Solution may be used if the oven
gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives. The middle shelf can be washed either in
hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.
3. The outside surface of this microwave oven should
be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a
soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into
the back ventilation or control panel, since this can
damage the unit.
4. The window of the door should be washed with
very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
cloth. Never use window cleaner. The front door can
be scratched by harsh soap or detergents.

the splatter shield with both hands and pull them in
