An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.

Safety Instructions

Do not touch, clean or attempt to remove the protective cover on the side wall.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Heating Elements, 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 oven.

The heating elements cannot be removed.

Glass Microwave Turntable, Black Metal Tray and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, allow the glass microwave turntable and black metal tray to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

A soap-filled scouring pad can also be used to clean the black metal tray. Do not use abrasives, as they may damage the finish.

Browner Rack

Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

Operating Instructions

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 oven.

Case

Clean the outside of the microwave oven 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 oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

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.
