How to Clean the Inside

Care and Cleaning

Countertop Microwave Oven

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.

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Mode Stirrer

Cover and 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 on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

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.

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 without the turntable and support in place.

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. 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’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Stainless Steel. Do not use a steel-wool 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.

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.	23
