Caring for Your Microwave- Convection Hood Combination

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

Cleaning the microwave oven

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild deter- gent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water.

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to soft cloth; do not spray directly on oven.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

Cleaning the metal rack

Wash by hand with a mild detergent and a soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.

Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleansers to clean rack.

Caring for the filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.

NOTE: If your microwave hood combination is installed to recirculate air, a charcoal filter (Part No. 4395956) can be ordered. It should be replaced every 6-12 months. The char- coal filter cannot be cleaned.

Grease filters:

1.Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.

2.To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the side. Pull filters downward and push to the other side. The filter will drop out.

3.Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease.Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken.
