USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or
grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the
hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not
hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with
a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken
or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
METAL RACK
Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely. Do not use abrasive
scrubbers or cleaners to clean rack.
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often,
at least once a month.
1. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the side. Pull
filter downward and push to the other side. The filter
will drop out.
2. Wash in dishwasher or soak grease filter in hot water
and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The
aluminum filter will darken.
3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the side slot, then
push up and toward oven center to lock.
CHARCOAL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should
be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if
necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.
1. Unplug the oven or turn off power at the main
power supply.
2. Remove the two vent grill mounting screws.
(2 middle screws)
3. Tip the grill forward, then lift itout.
4. Remove old filter.
5. Slide a new charcoal filter into place. The filter
should rest at the angle shown.
6. Slide the bottom of the grill into place. Push the
top until it snaps into place. Replace the mounting
screws. Turn the power back on at the main power
supply and set the clock.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
do not operate oven hood without filter in place.
