CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety,
keep the oven clean inside and out-
side. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame free of food or grease build-up.
Never use rough powder 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.
Follow these instructions to clean and
care for your oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Food particles and spilled liquids
can stick to the oven walls, causing
the oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a
damp cloth and mild soap. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food
particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if
you desire to keep the oven fresh)
in a four-cup measuring glass at
High power for five minutes or until
boiling. Let stand in the oven for one
or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the
oven when cleaning the oven
or tray. To prevent the tray from
breaking, handle it carefully and do
not put it in water immediately after
cooking. Wash the tray carefully
in warm sudsy water or in the
dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the
oven with soap and a damp cloth.
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts of
the oven, don’t let water seep into
the openings.
• Wash the door window with very
mild soap and water. Be sure to use
a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or
outside the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate
when operating the oven in high
humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without
food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You
may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use
to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
CLEANING THE GREASE
FILTER
The grease filter should be removed
and cleaned often, at least once a
month.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal
injury or property damage,
do not operate oven hood
without filters in place.
1. To remove grease filter, slide filter
to the side. Pull filter downward
and push to the other side. The
filter will drop out.
2. Soak grease filter in hot water and
a mild detergent. Rinse well and
shake to dry.
Do not use ammonia
or place in a dishwasher. The
aluminum will darken.
3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the
side slot, then push up and toward
oven center to lock.
