Cleaning
Cleaning Guide
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the 
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to 
keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of 
food and grease build–up.
Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the 
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out 
with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent 
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, 
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or 
bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if 
needed.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; 
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. 
You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside 
the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the 
oven is accidentally turned on.

Recommendations
Oven cavity
Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the 
oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh 
detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 
1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup microwave-safe dish at 
High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Wire rack
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or 
soap-filled pads as directed.
Glass turntable tray
Remove glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.
NOTICE: To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in 
water immediately after cooking.
Wash the glass turntable tray in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.

accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave 
leakage.
