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.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and
spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the
oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild
soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat
two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you
desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring
glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let
stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the
oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle
it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after
cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or
in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a
damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to
the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into
the openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water.
Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when
operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can
damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish
to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use
to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, at
least once a month.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
do not operate oven hood without filters in place.
1. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the side. Pull filter
downward and push to the other side. The filter will
drop out.
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.

should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often
