Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.
Cleaning the exterior
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your
microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft
cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
CAUTION
Do not get water into the vents. Never use
abrasive products or chemical solvents such
as ammonia or alcohol as they can damage
the appearance of your microwave.
WARNING
Unplug the microwave plug before cleaning.
Cleaning under your microwave
oven
Regularly clean grease and dust from the
bottom of your microwave using a solution
of warm water and detergent.
Cleaning the control panel
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts
of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp
objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.
Cleaning the door and door seals
Always ensure that the door seals are clean
and that the door closes properly. Take
particular care when cleaning the door seals
to ensure that no particles accumulate and
prevent the door from closing correctly.
Wash the glass door with very mild soap
and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to
avoid scratching.
NOTE
If steam accumulates inside or outside the
oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam
can accumulate when you operate the
oven when humidity is high and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
To avoid injury, ensure that the microwave
oven has cooled down before cleaning it.
CAUTION
Remove the glass tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the
tray from breaking, handle it with care and
do not put it in water immediately after
cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
See the Steam Clean section on page 22.
Cleaning the turntable and roller
rings
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash
the turntable as required. The turntable can
be washed safely in your dishwasher.
