Care and Cleaning

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.

2.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.

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

4.Open the door.

5.Push the hook and remove old filter.

6.Slide a new charcoal filter into place and close the door. The fil- ter should rest at the angle shown.
