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.
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.
