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.
WARNING
Unplug the microwave plug before cleaning.
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.
NOTE
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate
when you operate the oven when humidity is high and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
To avoid injury, ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it.
CAUTION
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from
breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray
carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the turntable and roller rings
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The turntable can be washed
safely in your dishwasher.
