Your microwave oven has a stainless steel interior.
Unlike painted steel interiors found in most other
microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust, or
corrode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless
steel surface as the result of food particles splattering
during cooking. This is normal.
Do not use metal scouring pads on inside of oven
cavity. They will scratch the surface.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non-
abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep
the areas clean where the door and oven frame
touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. 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 (250 mL) of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To
get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL)
of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
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.

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.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads,

oven surfaces.
