General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the
microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to soil
buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports,
and area where the door touches the frame clean.
Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge, or as indicated
below.
■ Nonstick cavity coating (on some models): To avoid damage to the
microwave oven cavity, do not use metal or sharp utensils or
scrapers, or any type of abrasive cleanser or scrubbers.
■ Grease filter: mild soap and water or dishwasher.
■ Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner applied
to paper towel.
■ Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water.
■ Stainless steel (on some models): mild soap and water, then rinse
with clean water and dry with soft cloth, or use stainless steel
cleaner.
■ Turntable: mild soap and water or dishwasher.
■ Cooking rack and supports (on some models): mild soap, water
and washcloth. Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended.

grease filter. See “Settings” section to reset filter status.

place the filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side up, replace
vent grille, and secure with screws.
