MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

GREASE FILTERS

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye- based oven cleaners.

■Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

■Dishwasher:

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be trapped in the filters.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filters may occur after cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of the grease filters.

MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY

To avoid damage to the microwave oven cavity, do not use soap- filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels.

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

Average soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave oven. Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Odors

■Lemon juice or vinegar:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of either lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

To avoid arcing and damage to the microwave oven, the microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept clean.

■Wipe with wet cloth.

MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

CONTROL PANEL

■Sponge or soft cloth and water:

Dampen sponge with water and wipe panel. Dry with soft cloth.

Replacing Filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a month. Do not operate the microwave oven or exhaust fan without the grease filters in place. The charcoal filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. See “General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters.
