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.

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.

grille at the top front of the microwave oven, under the bulb
cover, and is replaceable. Remove 2 screws on the vent grille,
