To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.
Cleaning the
microwave oven
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm,
sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild deter-
gent. Be sure to keep the areas clean
where the door and oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well with clean water.
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to soft cloth; do
not spray directly on oven.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil
a cup of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can damage the control panel
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
Cleaning the metal rack
• Wash by hand with a mild detergent and a
soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or
cleansers to clean rack.

Caring for the filters
The grease filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month.
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination
is installed to recirculate air, a charcoal filter
(Part No. 4395956) can be ordered. It should
be replaced every 6-12 months. The char-
coal filter cannot be cleaned.
Grease filters:
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave
oven.
2. To remove grease filters, slide each
filter to the side. Pull filters downward and
push to the other side. The filter will drop
out.
3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a
mild detergent. Scrub and swish to
remove embedded dirt and grease.Rinse
well and shake to dry. Do not use
ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The
aluminum will darken.
