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.
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.
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable
vent filters.
Ovens configured to recirculate air
back into the room should also use
a charcoal filter.
