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 ﬁlter: 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

screws and open the bulb cover. Replace bulb, close bulb

cover, and secure with screws.

■ 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

where do you find food numbers for defrosting?

No where in your user guide do you list the NUMBER CODES OF THE FOOD ITEMS. This us for use of the preset cooking, presetvreheating and presetvdefrosting buttons. How do I get that?
