in the OFF position, the compartment
door is

3.3.1 Exhaust Silencer
The exhaust silencer (Figure
7-1,
Index 51)
should be removed and cleaned
periodically.
As the cooking compartment
is exhausted of
steam through
the silencer,
impurities
can
build
up from
food
particles.
Cleanings
should be frequent enough to prevent clogg-
ing. For this
reason,
the exhaust silencer is
made
easily
accessible
and
simple
to
remove.
To
Clean
silencer
proceed
as
follows:
1. Remove
the
one-piece
exhaust
silencer from the unit by unscrewing
it
in a counter-clockwise
direction
from
exhaust valve elbow.
2. Clean the silencer by sloshing it in hot
soapy water and rinse it in clear water.
If
dirt
has
clogged
the
silencer,
presoak it in an alkaline cleaning solu-
tion.
3. After
cleaning,
stand the silencer on
edge to allow it to drain.
4. Screw it back into the elbow of the
exhaust valve (clockwise).
