Caring for Your Microwave 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.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with

warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft

cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive 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 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 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.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper

towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean turntable and turntable support,

wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled

areas use a mild cleanser and scouring

sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher-safe.
