Amana How to Clean and Replace Filters for Microwaves - ACO1860AS Guide

MAINTENANCE

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up.

Never use abrasive cleaners 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.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury

or property damage, do not operate oven hood

without filters in place.
