Cleaning and
maintaining
your microwave
oven
Keeping your microwave oven clean
improves its performance, wards off
unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It's best to clean spills on the outside of your
microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
CAUTION
Do not get water into the vents. Never use
abrasive products or chemical solvents such as
ammonia or alcohol as they can damage the
appearance of your microwave.
Cleaning under your microwave oven
Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom
of your microwave using a solution of warm water
and detergent.
Cleaning the control panel
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do
not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and
water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as
it is easily damaged.
Cleaning the door and door seals
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and
that the door closes properly. Take particular care
when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no
particles accumulate and prevent the door from
closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very
mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to
avoid scratching.
If a thin film of water accumulates on the inside
or outside of the oven door, wipe it off with a soft
cloth. A thin water film can accumulate when you
operate the oven when humidity is high and in no
way indicates microwave leakage.
