Care and Cleaning

Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking
soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before
cleaning any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts
on the Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel;
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven
walls.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of
your microwave.
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 eighth
digit of the model number. "S" is stainless steel, "L" is
CleanSteel and "B", "W" or "C" are plastic colors.

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
in the microwave mode without the turntable and support
seated and in place.
Shelves
Clean with mild soap and
water or in the dishwasher.
Do not clean in a self-
cleaning oven.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
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.
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.
