CARE AND CLEANING
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda
and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning
any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the
Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others
may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with
a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven
that come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with
a damp cloth and dry.
Never use a commercial oven
cleaner on any part of your
microwave.
How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on
the microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the
appearance of the microwave.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse
with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a
damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning
sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp
objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper
towels can also scratch the control panel.
Door Surface
It is important to keep the area clean where the door
seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse
well.

Removable Turntable and
Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not
place the turntable into water
just after cooking. Wash it
carefully in warm, sudsy water or
in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken
if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven in the
microwave mode without the turntable and support seated
and in place.
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp
cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be
certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before
plugging cord into outlet.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use a steel-wood 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. Always scrub lightly
in the direction of the grain.
