Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye- based oven cleaners.

■Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be trapped in the filters.

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.
