MICROWAVE OVENCARE

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions
on
cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.

based oven cleaners.

Hot water and mild detergent:
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be

of the filters may occur after
cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not
affect the performance
