Your microwave oven has a stainless
steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors
found in most other microwave ovens, the
surface will not chip, rust or corrode. Over
time, stains can occur on the stainless steel
surface as the result of food particles
splattering during cooking. This is normal.
• Do not use metal scouring pads, steel
wool or soap-filled scouring pads on the
inside oven cavity. They will scratch the
surface.
• Rub in the direction of the grain line to
avoid marring the surface.
• Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.
• If commercial cleaners are used, follow
label directions. If product contains
chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with
clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free
cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft
cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a
mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas
clean where door and oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well with clean water.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a
cup of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
HOW TO CLEAN

To avoid marring the surface, rub in
the direction of grain lines with a
damp cloth or sponge and

Caring for Your Microwave
Oven
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft
cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleaners, steel-wool
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can damage the control panel
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
To clean turntable and turntable support,
wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled
areas, use a mild cleanser and scouring
sponge. The turntable and turntable support
are dishwasher safe.
You can remove the glass turntable to clean
the oven cavity floor; however, this oven is
designed to operate with the turntable in
place. Do not operate the microwave oven
when the turntable is removed for cleaning.
See the “how your microwave oven works”
section for more information about the
turntable.
