Cleaning The Inside Of Your Microwave; Cleaning And Replacing The Filters - Midea EM948K6BY-P1 User Manual

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food,
use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the right side the microwave cavity. It is made from mica so it requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe the surface of the
cover immediately with a damp cloth if any food spatters on it. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or
possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Removing odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in your microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, the grated peel
and juice of one lemon, and several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using
100% power, then let it cool in your microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable and turntable support
Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild
cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Cleaning and replacing the filters

Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filters at least once a month. Never use the fan or microwave without the filters in place.
1 Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of your microwave to remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2 Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent.
•
CAUTION: DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali cleaning products. They will react with the filter material and darken it.
3 Agitate and scrub the filter with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
4 Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5 Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Grease filters
Replacing the charcoal filter
A charcoal filter is used for a nonvented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months
depending on use.
1 Disconnect power to your microwave at the circuit breaker or by unplugging it.
