Using the vent fan

Your microwave’s vent fan works as a range hood to filter out smoke and other odors from cooking. 

Press 

Vent

 repeatedly to cycle between low speed, high speed, or off.

Note

You can use the vent fan while cooking in the microwave.

When the fan automatically starts, you can press 

Vent

 to switch to high speed. The fan runs at high speed for 

eight minutes, then returns to its low speed. 

If you turned the fan on, it doesn't turn off automatically when cooking is finished. Press 

Vent/2 Speed

 to turn it 

off.

Using the child lock

To lock the microwave, press and hold 

Stop

 for three seconds. The microwave beeps and a lock indicator appears 

on the display.

To unlock the microwave, press and hold 

Stop 

until the lock indicator disappears (about three seconds).

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave

Cleaning the outside of your microwave

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry 
with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to 
maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, 
streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel

If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened 
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and 
press 

Stop

 to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior

Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, 
use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Waveguide cover

The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling inside the microwave cavity. It is made from mica so requires special 
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any 
food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause 
smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, grated peel and 
juice of one lemon, and several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% 
power, then let it cool in the microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable and turntable support

Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild 
cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher. 

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
