How to Clean the Inside

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.

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.

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