General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the 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.

OVEN CAVITY

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel- wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels. Damage may occur.

The area where the 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 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 tbsp (15 mL) of either lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

The microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept clean to avoid arching and oven damge.

Wipe with wet cloth.

Replacing Filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a month. Do not operate the microwave oven or vent fan without the grease filters in place. The 3M FILTRETE** charcoal odor filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. See “General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters.

3M FILTRETE** CHARCOAL ODOR FILTER

This filter works with the vent fan to eliminate cooking odors. Depending on the fan speed used, the life of the filter ranges from 50 hours to 100 hours.

To Remove and Replace Odor Filter:

1.Open oven door.

2.Tilt vent grille forward and lift out to remove.

3.Lift filter up, then pull it out of the slot.

4.Replace the 3M FILTRETE** charcoal odor filter by positioning the new filter in the slot. “This side out” printed on the edge of the filter should be facing out. Then replace the vent grille by aligning the bottom tabs and snapping it back into place.
