Microwave Oven Interior

The oven interior should be cleaned after each use with a damp cloth to keep it free from grease and soil buildup. Stubborn soils can be removed with a plastic scrub pad. When cleaning interior surfaces and surfaces of door and oven that come together when the door is closed, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Odors can be eliminated from the inside of the oven by boiling a solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice in the oven for 5-7 minutes. This also helps loosen any dried soil in the oven. Wipe off excess moisture after use.

The Exhaust Feature

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operationg, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the venting to the outside or through the charcoal filters if not vented to the outside.

To Remove Grease Filter

To remove grease filter, grasp the “finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear. Then pull filter downward and to the left. The filter will drop out.

Reusable Grease Filters

The reusable grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below the hood, filters will stop the entry of flames into the unit.

To clean Grease Filter

To clean grease filters, soak and then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Do not use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.

To Replace Grease Filter

To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame slot on the right of the opening. Pull filter upward and to the left to lock into place.
