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 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.Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.

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

3.Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken.

4.To reinstall the filter, slide it into the back slot, then push up to lock.

5.Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in place.
