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 abrasive cleaners 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 FILTERS
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned
often, at least once a month.
1. To remove grease filters, slide each
filter to the side. Pull filters downward
and push to the other side. The filter will drop out.
2. Wash in dishwasher or soak grease filters in hot
water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to
dry. Do not use ammonia. The aluminum will
darken filter.
3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then
push up and toward oven center to lock.
CAUTION
Do not operate the hood without
the filters in place.
