MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean. Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge or as indicated below.

  • Grease filters: mild soap and water or dishwasher
  • Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner applied to paper towel
  • Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water
  • Stainless steel (on some models): mild soap and water, then rinse with clean water and dry with soft cloth, or use stainless steel cleaner.
  • Turntable: mild soap and water or dishwasher

Installing/Replacing Filters and Light Bulbs

  • Grease filters: Grease filters are on the underside of microwave oven. Clean monthly. Slide the filter away from the tab area and drop out the filter. To reinstall, place end of the filter into the opening opposite the tab area, swing up the other end, and slide it toward the tab area.
  • Charcoal filter: The charcoal filter is behind the vent grille at the top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced about every 6 months. Remove 2 screws on the vent grille, slide the vent grille to the left, tilt it forward, lift it out, and remove the filter. To reinstall, place the filter into its 2-hook area with the wire mesh side to the front. Replace the vent grille by inserting the 3 bottom latch hooks of the vent grille into the front holes, tilt the vent grille backwards, slide it to the right, and secure with screws.
  • Cooktop light: The cooktop light is located on the underside of the microwave oven and is replaceable. Remove bulb cover screw and open the bulb cover. Replace bulb, close bulb cover, and secure with screw.
  • Cavity light: The cavity light bulb is located behind the vent grille at the top front of the microwave oven, under the bulb cover, and is replaceable. Remove 2 screws on the vent grille, slide the vent grille to the left, tilt it forward, and lift it out. Open the bulb cover and replace bulb. To reinstall, close bulb cover. Replace the vent grille by inserting the 3 bottom latch hooks of the vent grille into the front holes, tilt the vent grille backwards, slide it to the right, and secure with screws.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience Recommended Solutions
Microwave oven will not operate

Check the following:

  • Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
  • Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
  • Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to the inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.
  • Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is OFF. Make sure Demo mode (on some models) is OFF.
Arcing in the microwave oven

Check the following:

  • Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section.
Turntable alternates rotation directions
  • This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows messages
  • A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
  • A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance
Fan running during cooktop usage
  • This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.
Radio, TV, or cordless phone interference

Check the following:

  • Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
  • Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
  • Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is ON. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation
