Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
(continued)
Cleaning Grease Filters
The Grease Filters should be removed and cleaned often, at
least once a month.
1. Grasp the "metal ring" on the Grease Filter. Slide the
Grease Filter to the rear of oven.
2. Pull the Grease Filter out.
3. Use care when cleaning the Grease Filters. Corrosive clean-
ing agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage
the Grease Filters. Clean the Grease Filters with a warm
detergent solution. Do not use ammonia or other alkaline
solutions because it will darken metal. Light brushing can be
used to remove embedded dirt. Shake and remove moisture
before replacing.
Installing Grease Filters
1. Slide in the edge of the Grease Filters along the opening's
guide edges.

Caution: After removing the Grease Filter, be careful of any
sharp edges at the openings.
Never operate the Vent Fan without the Grease Filters in
place.
