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 lm of water accumulates on the inside or
outside of the oven door, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
A thin water lm can accumulate when you operate
the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
CAUTION
Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down
before cleaning it to avoid injury.
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.
Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your
microwave oven periodically to remove any splashes
or stains. To remove hardened food articles and
remove smells, place 2 cups of water (add lemon
juice for extra freshness) into a four-cup measuring
glass. Run the microwave at High power for 5
minutes or until the water boils. Let water stand in
the oven for one or two minutes.
