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 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.

The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, 
at least once a month.

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.

If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter 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 
Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center 
or call 1-800-688-9900 (inside U.S.A) or
