How To Clean - GE Spacemaker 49-40612 Owner's Manual

How to Clean

the Outside
We recommend against
using cleaners with
ammonia or alcohol,
as they can damage
the appearance of the
microwave oven. If you
choose to use a common
household cleaner, first
apply the cleaner directly
to a clean cloth, then
wipe the soiled area.
Case
Clean the outside of the
microwave with a sudsy
cloth. Rinse and then dry.
Wipe the window clean
with a damp cloth.
Control Panel
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 Panel
Before cleaning the front
door panel, make sure you
know what type of panel you
have. Refer to the eleventh
digit of the model number.
"S" is stainless steel, "L" is
CleanSteel and "B", "W" or
"C" are plastic colors.
Stainless Steel
The stainless steel panel
can be cleaned with
Stainless Steel Magic or a
similar product using a
clean, soft cloth. Apply
stainless cleaner carefully
to avoid the surrounding
plastic parts. Do not use
appliance wax, polish,
bleach or products
containing chlorine on
Stainless Steel finishes.
CleanSteel
Use a clean, soft, light and
lightly dampened cloth, then
dry thoroughly. Do not use
appliance wax, polish, bleach
or products containing any
chemical agent on the
CleanSteel surfaces.
Plastic Color Panels
Use a clean, soft, lightly
dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly.
Door Seal
It's important to keep the
area clean where the door
seals against the microwave.
Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a
clean sponge or soft cloth.
Rinse well.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and
dust on the bottom often.
Use a solution of warm
water and detergent.
