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 Surface
It is 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.
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and
wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn
spots, sudsy water may be used, but be
certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.
