Cleaning the oven vent filters
The oven ventilation filters should be removed and
cleaned often; generally at least once every month.
9 CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
do not operate oven vent without filters properly in
place.
1. To remove the ventilation filters, slide the filter to the
rear. Then pull filter downward and push to the other
side. The filter will drop out. Repeat for the 2nd filter.
2. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water using a mild
detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use
ammonia or wash in a dishwasher. The aluminum on
the filter will corrode and darken.
3. To reinstall an oven ventilation filter, slide it into the
side slot, then push up and toward oven to lock.
Reinstall the 2nd filter using the same procedure.
Part Recommendations
Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the
oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of
1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup microwave-safe dish at
High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Wire rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or
soap-filled pads as directed.
Glass turntable tray Remove glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.
NOTICE: To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in
water immediately after cooking.
Wash the glass turntable tray in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Turntable roller rest Clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Door glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik ® or Formula 409 ® on a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning
agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can
accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave
leakage.
Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik ® or Formula 409 ® to a clean sponge or paper
towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning agents, steel wool
pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel sur-
faces
Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and
dry, or wipe with Fantastik ® sprayed on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel
Magic ® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Do
not use any cleanser that contains chlorine as these may rust the stainless steel
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
