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 abrasive cleaners 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.
Cleaning the Grease Filters
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often,
at least once a month.
1. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the side.
Pull filters downward and push to the other side. The
filter will drop out.
2. Wash in dishwasher or soak grease filters in hot
water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to
dry. Do not use ammonia. The ammonia will darken
the filter.
3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then
push up and toward oven center to lock.
CAUTION
!
To avoid risk of property damage, do not operate the
hood vent system without the filters in place.

should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more
often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts Depart-
ment at your nearest Authorized Service Center.
