Cleaning and maintaining your microwave
Cleaning the outside of your microwave
Exterior
The outside surface is pre-coated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak, or dull the door surface.
Control panel
If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and
press STOP/CLEAR to clear any buttons you may have pressed.
Cleaning the inside of your microwave
Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food,
use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add lemon juice if you want to keep your
microwave fresh smelling) in a four-cup measuring cup at high power for five minutes or until boiling. Let it cool in
the microwave, then wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the right wall inside your microwave. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure
good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover
immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Removing odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, lemon juice, and
several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes at high power, then let it cool in the
microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable and turntable support
Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild
cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

The exhaust filters should be removed and cleaned about once a month.

Using the vent fan
Your microwave’s vent fan works as a range hood to filter out smoke and other odors from cooking.

temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time. This protects the microwave from
excessive temperatures.
