General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
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.
Dishwasher:
Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be
trapped in the filters.
OVEN CAVITY
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.
Damage may occur.
The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed
should be kept clean.
Average soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
Heavy soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.
Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with
soft, lint-free cloth.
Odors
Lemon juice or vinegar:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of either
lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.
OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic
scrubbing pad:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on
panel.
STEAMER VESSEL
Soft brush, if necessary, to clean holes.
Dishwasher:
The steamer vessel is dishwasher safe.
Stubborn Stains
To remove stains such as tomato sauce, use a nonabrasive
cleanser, a no-scratch pad, or a solution of dishwasher
detergent and water (¼ cup [60 mL] detergent to 1 cup
[250 mL] warm water).

Replacing Filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a
month. The charcoal filters cannot be washed and should be
replaced every 6 to 12 months. Do not operate the microwave
oven without the filters in place. See "Assistance or Service" to
reorder filters. See "General Cleaning" for cleaning instructions.
To Remove:
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. Remove the grease filters by pushing up and sliding to the
side. Pull tab down until the filter drops out.
3. Remove charcoal filters by pushing the back of each filter
away from you until the front of the filter slides off the front
lower lip. Swing the front of the filter down and slide out.
To Replace:
1. Replace charcoal filters by positioning the filter at the back of
the opening and resting it on the springs. While pushing the
filter into the springs, position the front of filter between the
front upper and lower lips.
2. Replace grease filters by inserting one end into the frame.
Swing other side up and slide into position.
