Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.

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 of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Control Panel

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 Panel

Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of the model number. “S” is stainless steel, “G” is Graphite, “L” is CleanSteel and “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.

Stainless Steel

The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the surrounding plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.

CleanSteel, Graphite

Use a clean, soft, light and lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing any chemical agent on the CleanSteel surfaces.

 

Plastic Color Panels

 

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry

 

thoroughly.

 

Door Seal

 

It’s 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.

 

Bottom

 

Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often.

Use a solution of warm water and detergent.
