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 (eleventh digit on models
JVM1850, JNM1851 and DVM1850). “S” is stainless
steel, "G" is Graphite, “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, Graphite
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.
