Microwave - Stainless Steel Interior Cleaning Recommendations

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug the microwave from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

 

Most spills and splatters in the microwave clean up easily with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge. It is best to clean soil as soon as it appears. Consult the Owner's Manual for your specific model for information about cleaning your microwave.

 

Cleaning Recommendations for a Microwave With Stainless Steel Interior

Cleaning the Interior

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel. Others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. You can use a plastic, soap-filled scouring pad or sponge for heavy soils.

 

Removing Food That Has Cooked Onto the Interior

  1. Heat one cup of water on full power for three minutes. The heat and steam help to soften the food.
  2. After the three minutes, allow five additional minutes of stand time.
  3. Then, clean as usual. A plastic pad or scrubber can be used.

Cerama Bryte® stainless steel cleaner can also be used. The GE Appliances part number is PM10X311 and is available through our GE Appliances Parts & Accessories. website.

 

Cleaning the Interior and Exterior of the Door

Use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

 

Cleaning the Control Panel

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not spray any solution directly onto the controls.

 

Do Not Use

  • Abrasive cleaners
  • Sharp utensils on the oven walls.
  • Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of the oven.
