HELPFUL INFORMATION
How to Clean the Outside
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 and Door
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 Surface
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.
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.
Do not use cleaners containing
ammonia or alcohol on the
microwave oven. Ammonia
or alcohol can damage the
appearance of the microwave.

• Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
• Dull thumping sound while oven

• TV-radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave. Similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances, it does not indicate a
problem with the microwave. Plug the
microwave into a different electrical
circuit, move the radio or TV as far
away from the microwave as possible
or check the position and signal of
the TV/radio antenna.
