How to Clean the Interior

Before cleaning, unplug the microwave. If the outlet is inaccessible, leave the microwave door open while cleaning. Make sure all parts are cool before cleaning. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. A mild detergent may also be used. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaners that contain chlorine and other harsh and abrasive cleaning detergents.

To prevent baked-on soil, clean food spatters or spilled liquids as they occur. To help loosen soil before cleaning, heat 2 cups of water in a 4-cup microwave-safe dish or container at high power for 5 minutes or until boiling.

How to Clean the Exterior

Stainless steel exterior - Clean stainless steel areas by using mild soapy water with a soft cloth. Wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain when washing and drying. Rinse with water and wipe dry to avoid watermarks. Do not use cleaners that are abrasive or contain chlorine since both are corrosive to stainless steel. For added shine, apply a stainless steel conditioner and wipe off the excess with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel conditioners and cleaners can have negative effects on materials other than stainless steel. Do not apply stainless steel conditioners and cleaners to control markings, labels, logos, black or smudge-proof stainless steel, and appliance interiors. .

The Thermador Stainless Steel Conditioner is available for purchase in the Thermador Accessories Store.

Control panel - When cleaning the control panel, leave the microwave door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on. 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.
