MICROWAVE OVEN CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on 
cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
based oven cleaners.
Hot water and mild detergent:
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt 
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Dishwasher:
Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be 
trapped in the filters.
NOTE: Some discoloration of the filters may occur after 
cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not 
affect the performance of the grease filters.
MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels. 
Damage may occur.
On stainless steel models, rub in direction of grain to avoid 
damaging.
The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when 
closed should be kept clean.
Average soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
Heavy soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave 
oven. Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry 
with soft, lint-free cloth.
Odors
Lemon juice or vinegar:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of either 
lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave oven.
Microwave Inlet Cover
The microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be 
kept clean to avoid arcing and microwave oven damage.
Wipe with wet cloth.
MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR
The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when 
closed should be kept clean.
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic 
scrubbing pad:
Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may 
occur. Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.
Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included):
See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended. Do not use abrasive 
cleansers or scrubbers.

RACK SUPPORTS
Clean often to avoid soil buildup. Soil buildup may lead to arcing 
and cause damage to the oven.

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.
