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.

METAL RACK

Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean rack.

CLEANING THE

GREASE FILTERS

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.

2.Wash in dishwasher or soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dish- washer. The aluminum will darken filter.

3.To reinstall the filter, slide it into the side slot, then push up and toward oven center to lock.
