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.
CLEANING THE
GREASE FILTER
The grease filter should be removed
and cleaned often, at least once a
month.
1. To remove grease filter, slide
filter to the side. Pull filter down-
ward and push to the other side.
The filter will drop out.
3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into
the side slot, then push up and
toward oven center to lock.
To avoid risk of personal
injury or property damage,
do not operate oven hood
without filters in place.
