User Manual Frigidaire GLMV169GB gallery 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave

All of our over-the-range (OTR) microwaves are factory preset to vent internally – it will recirculate the air back into the room. However, it can also be converted to vent externally, or outside, if you prefer.

If this is your preference, please let the installer know before they begin the initial installation and they will share the option that best suits your installation situation.

Just follow these simple instructions, and you'll have your oven light changed in no time.

First, unplug the microwave, or turn off the power at the main circuit breaker.
Remove the mounting screws, and pull the vent grill away from the unit.
Remove the charcoal filter, if used, by pushing it inwards. Then turn, and pull it away from the unit. Now you can open the light cover by pulling up on the front edge.
Unscrew the old light bulb and replace it with an equivalent, new 30-watt bulb.
Now, carefully push the light cover back into place, then the charcoal filter, and the vent grill. Be sure to engage the bottom and top tabs. Finally, replace the vent grill mounting screws and you're done.
Remember to plug the microwave back into the power supply, or turn the power back on, at the main circuit breaker.

If your microwave model has a glass tray or turn table, then follow the instructions printed on the popcorn label and place the bag on the turn table.

In some instances, if you have a metal turn table (instead of glass), you do need to set the popcorn bag on a popcorn/bacon plate.

This plate will lift the popcorn bag off of the microwave’s metal turntable, which can otherwise interfere with the metal contained in the popcorn bag.

It's easier than you might think to keep your microwave clean and looking new.

First, unplug the power cord. Clean the outside surface with mild soap and water, then rise and dry with a soft cloth.
Wipe the window on both sides of the door with a soft cloth. Cleanliness is easier to maintain if this is done frequently.
If your model has a Smudge-Proof stainless steel finish, clean it with mild dish soap and warm water, or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use store-bought stainless steel cleaners.
Simply wipe the touch control panel with a damp cloth, and dry it off. Be sure not to scrub.
Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe spatters off the wave guide cover as soon as they happen. Do not remove this cover for any reason.
Most of the time, the interior can be cleaned with just warm water and a soft cloth. For heavier soil, you can use baking soda or a mild soap.
Need to remove a cooking odor? Combine 1 cup of water, the grated peel and juice of 1 lemon, and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes at 100% power. After it cools, wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
The turn table and turn table support are removeable for easy cleaning. You can wash them in mild sudsy water, or place them in the upper rack of your dishwasher. The wire rack and shelf can also be cleaned with hot soapy water.
