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
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. Soak grease filter in hot
water and a mild detergent.
Rinse well and shake to dry.

3. To reinstall the filter, slide it
into the side slot, then push
up and toward oven center
to lock.
