Microwaving Tips
●
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled
“suitable for microwaving.”
If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats. it should not be”used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
●
Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
●
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check cookbook supplied.
●
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
WARNING–TO reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
●
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.
●
Read and follow the speci~lc

●
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
—Do
not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
—Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
(continued next page)
3
—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
—Do
not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of
fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do
not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
●
Do not use the oven for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
●
If
materials inside oven
should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
●
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers— for example, closed jars-will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.
●
Avoid heating baby food
in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.
●
Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
●
Use metil only as directed in
this book. TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box.
When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.
●
Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.
●
Sometimes, the oven floor can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor during and after cooking.
●
Foods cooked in liquids
(such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.
Should this occur, refer to the
Care and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.
●
Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
●
Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.
●
Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware mmufacturer’s recommendations, 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
●
When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least
170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
Q Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
●
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
●
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for proper use.
●
Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.
●
~~Boilable’7 cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
c Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes.
To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
●
Use of
the shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.
—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.
—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They may be hot.
—Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat.
—Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage.
—Use the shelf only when cooking on two levels.
THE EXHAUST HOOD
“ Have it installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.
●
The exhaust fan in the oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan Feature).
While the fan is operating, caution is required to prevent the s~rting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:
—Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.
—In the event of a grease fire,
smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
—Never flame foods under the oven with the exhaust fan operating because it may spread the flames.
—Keep hd and grease filters clean,
according to instructions in the Exhaust Feature section, to maintain good venting and avoid grease fires.

Step 4: Touch START. When the cycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes “End,” then automatically shuts off.
Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door, repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of defrosting time and touch START,
Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,” open the door, remove the package and separate chops to finish defrosting.
Defrosting Tips
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package.
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.
●
Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
Check the cookbook for other defrosting tips.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time by about 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately
1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the cookbook seem right for my food?
A. These times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indicated in the cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.
Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?
A. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking.
For example, fish cooks so quickly it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.
Q. Can I open the door during defrosting to check on the progress of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. If not, reset timer.

Cooking by Time
Time Cook I & II allows you to microwave for a selected amount of time.
Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility. See the cookbook.
To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee by following the steps below.
Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave-safe (refer to section on Microwaving Tips). Place cup in oven and close door.
n
Step 2: Touch TIME COOK I & II.
❑ m
Step 3: Select your time. Touch 1 and MIN pad for one minute.
Because automatic power level 10 is recommended for this cup of coffee, there is no need to change the power level. (If power level 10 is not appropriate, see “How to
Change Power Level” at right.)
Step 4: Touch START.
Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes “End.” Oven, light and fan shut off.
Step 6: Open the door.
Using the Time Cook II
Feature
The Time Cook II feature lets you set two time cooking functions within one program. This is ideal if you want to ch~nge power levels during your cooking operations.
Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Place food in oven in microwave-safe container and close the door.
n
Step 2: Touch TIME COOK
I & II.
Step 3: Select your first cook time.
For example, touch 2, 1 and 5 for two minutes and 15 seconds.
Step 4: Touch TIME COOK I & 11.
Step 5: Set your second cook time.
I Howto Change Power Level I
After setting cooking time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.
Step 6: Touch START.
Step 7: At the end of “COOK
TIME I,” the second power level is displayed and “COOK TIME II” is shown counting down.
Step 8: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes “End.” The oven, light and fan shut off.
Step 9: Open the door.
Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to time or location, many time cooking recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your food a little longer, if necessary.
Q. I touched the number pads and selected my power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be touched before setting the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power level other than High. What do I need to do?
A. To change the power level, touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to check the food?
A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply close the door and press the START pad. The timer must be reset for cooking to resume unless time is remaining on timer.
Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.
Use Temp Coo~old to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature.
The Time Cook I & II setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.
Temp CootiHold takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the
CLEAWOFF pad.
Note: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe
Step 5: Touch the START pad. If internal temperature of the roast is less than 90°F., display will show
“COOL”; if temperature is 90°F.
or above, display shows temperature counting up.
Step 6: When 160°F. is reached, the oven will sound and display
“Hold.” The oven will then hold the temperature.
Step 7: Touch the CLEAWOFF pad to stop the cycle.
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.
Cooking Tips
●
Use a lower power level; foods will heat more evenly though requiring more time.
●
Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.
●
Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.
How to Use Auto Start
The Auto Start feature allows you to program your oven to begin cooking at a preset time of day—up to a 12-hour delay.
To Use Auto Start
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food.
(Its appearance may vary from picture above.) The probe must be used when using Temp CooWHold or Auto Roast. To use the probe properly, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.
How to Temp Cook a
Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium
Step 1: Insert temperature probe and attach probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.
Step 2: Touch TEMP COOW
HOLD pad.
Step 3: Touch 1,6 and O for 160°F.
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch 5 for medium power.
Step 1: Touch AUTO START pad
(instead of START pad).
Step 2: Enter the time you want the oven to start. (Be sure your microwave oven clock shows the correct time of day.)
Step 3: Enter your desired cooking program.
Step 4: Touch START pad. The oven will automatically start at the desired time.
Questions and Answers
Q. Are there any foods I can’t
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc., soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs and frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It’s best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did “PRObE” flash on the display after I touched the
START pad?
A. “PRObE” will flash if you don’t seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle in the oven wall or if you touch the
TEMP COOWHOLD pad and forget to use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage the oven.
Q. Can I Temp Cook different portions of food at different temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

Automatic Roasting
Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike
Temp CooWold, which uses a single power level, Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.
Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook that comes with your oven.
Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting
Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall.
How

Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels for you.
Use the Auto Defrost guide on the next page. Enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (see
Conversion Guide at right). Then touch START pad.
The oven calculates defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.
How to Set Auto Defrost
Before you begin, check the guide located at front of oven
when you open the door. It shows minimum and maximum food weights for a variety of foods.
You will need to know your food weight before setting Auto Defrost.
1. Remove food from package, place in oven on microwave-safe dish and close door.
3. Enter weight. For example, touch number pads 1 and 2 for weight of 1.2 pounds ( 1 pound, 3 ounces.
See Conversion Guide at right.).

flashes. Follow the directions in the Auto Defrost Guide for what to do at the first and second signal.
Then close the door and touch
START. (Defrosting continues during “TURn” display.)
When defrosting time is completed,
“End” flashes and oven beeps 4 times. “End” remains on display and oven beeps every minute until door is opened or CLEAWOFF pad is touched.
Stand Time
After Auto Defrosting, meat needs to stand in order to le~”the inside defrost. You may take the food out of the oven if you wish. Stand time recommendations are given in the guide on the next page.

Gtide to Use of the Oven SheM
●
Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2 levels.
“ Do not store or cook with metil shelf on floor of oven.
Product damage may result.
●
Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and cookware. They may be hot.
●
Do not store microwave browning dish on metal shelf.
Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.
Cookware for Shelf
Heating and Reheating
Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under-the shelf.
Also, be sure cookware is microwave safe.
The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.
When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from the Cookbook that came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly (shown on the next page). Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food siz-e-should be considered; foods over 3fi inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.
Positioning
the Shelf
To insert shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the suuuort guides located on each side o~ ~he o~en in the rear.
Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup,
8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.
Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back or side wall of the oven.
at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned right-side-up on all four shelf supports and not touching oven walls. To prevent
Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls arcing, remove the shelf when vou are not usin~ it.
or divided plates.
If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food
Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in
8-inch-squ=e or other 2-quart size casseroles.
\’
Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.
16
How to Heat or Reheat Sitilar ~pes of Food
~o plates of leftovers may be reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave at High ( 10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Reverse-position of plates
(top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn.
Continue microwaving at High
(10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue heating, if necessary, until hot.
Reheating two casseroles (height should be less than 3 W inches) is possible. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use staggered arrangements of food, placing food on right side of sheif andleft side of floor.
Refer to Heating or Reheating
Guide in cookbook for suggested microwave time per casserole and add the times tog-ether. Microwave at High (10) reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Several small bowls of leftovers may be heated in the same way, stirring and reversing positions after half of time.
Two frozen individual entrees
(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV
dinners (10 to 12 oz. each) are both ready to serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner of the plastic cover to vent.
if there are foil covers, remove them and return the trays of food to their boxes. Place in oven with one TV dinner on right shelf and the second dinner on left floor.
Microwave at High ( 10) for 7 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn.
Continue microwaving at High
(10) for 7 minutes. Check dinners for heating. If one dinner seems less done than desired, return it to the box and continue heating on floor 1 to 2 more minutes.
How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods Together
When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High (1 O). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating in cookbook. ) After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
Place on the floor larger or more
dense foods, which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta.
Place on the oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes, Sometimes you may only want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time.
Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Foods that are highly perishable, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for
6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.
Care and Cleaning
Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following these rules:
●
Keep your oven clean and
sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.
●
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
with your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched and the control panel can be damaged.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OVEN.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, while others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A
COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Metal and plastic parts on door:

USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS
CLEANING POWDERS OR
STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.
THEY WILL MAR THE
SURFACE.
Special note when using
Brown ‘N Sear dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as
Bon Ami@ brand cleanser.
After using Bon Ami@ brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon Ami@ brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.
Automatic Temperature Probe.
Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.
Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in dishwasher.
Shelf. Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf.
Arcing could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
How to Clean the Oufiide
Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and a damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.
Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.
Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.

The Exhaust Feature
LIGHT
The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the provided venting to the outside.
The hood also has a light for illuminating the counter space.
~
Then pull filter downward and to the fr~nt. The filter will drop out.
To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame slot on the back of the opening.
To clean grease filter, soak, then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or other alkali because they will darken metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate your hood without the filter in
place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filter will retard entry of flames into the unit.
To remove grease filter, grasp the
“finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear.
Pull filter upward and to the front to lock into place.
