Caring for Your
Microwave
Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and
works well for a long time, you should maintain it
properly. For proper care, please follow these
instructions carefully.
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 the door and oven
frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean
water. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as
the result of food particles spattering during cooking.
This is normal.
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.
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 cleansers, 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.
