MICROWAVE OVEN CARE
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.
OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
■ Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic
scrubbing pad:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on
panel.
TURNTABLE
Replace turntable immediately after cleaning. Do not operate the
microwave oven without the turntable in place.
■ Mild cleanser and scouring pad
■ Dishwasher
Replacing Filters
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a
month. Do not operate the oven without the filters in place. The
charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6
to 12 months. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters. See
“General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions.
To Remove:
1. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
2. Remove each of the grease filters by pushing the back of the
filter up, grasping the tab, and sliding the filter to the back.
Pull tab down until the filter drops out.
3. Remove each charcoal filter by pushing the filter toward the
center of the oven until it is clear of the narrow outer lip.
Swing the filter down and slide it out.
To Replace:
1. Replace each charcoal filter by positioning it above the wide
lip near the center of the oven. Swing the filter up into
position and slide it toward the narrow lip. The filter will now
be held in position between the lips.
2. Replace each grease filter by inserting the end without the
tab into the frame. Swing other side up and slide into
position.
3. Plug in oven or reconnect power.
