CLEANING AND CARE

Disconnect the power cord or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning. Disconnect the power cord before replacing filters and lights.

EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

EASY CARE STAINLESS STEEL / SMUDGE _PRO OF STAINLESS STEEL / BLACK STAINLESS STEEL (SOME MODELS)
Your microwave oven(some models) may have a Stainless Steel finish or coating. Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/Cancel

INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The round wire rack and shelf can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.

WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the right side in the microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper wirerack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Charcoal filter replacement

Charcoal filter part number FRPAMRAF
To order parts call 800-599-7569

Charcoal Filter when installed in your microwave oven, is used for nonvented, recirculated Installation. When it is time to replace the charcoal filter, the FILTER light on display will turn on.
If your microwave is vented to the outside, then you can turn off the filter light in the settings.

  1. Disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
  2. Take out the plastic air guide on the top and replace the filter screen.
  3. Take out the old charcoal filter of the top area of out case.
  4. Replace the old charcoal filter with a new one.
  5. Install plastic air guide plate.


Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER

The oven ventilation grease filters should be removed and cleaned often; generally at least once every month.


To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not operate oven hood without filter properly in place.

  1. To remove the grease filter, pull the lever, then filter downward. The filter will drop out.
  2. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry or wash in a dishwasher.

information NOTE
Do not use ammonia. The aluminum on the filter will corrode and darken.

  1. To reinstall the exhaust ventilation filter, slide it into the side slot, then push up and toward oven to lock. Reinstall the 2nd filter using the same procedure.


CAUTION GREASE FILTER
Filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or microwave oven without the filter in place.

  1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the microwave oven and remove the filter.
  2. Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkalis; they will react with the filter material and darken it.
  3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
  4. Rinse thoroughly and shake
  5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.

SERVICE CALL CHECK

Please check the following before calling for service: Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave oven and close the door securely. Operate the microwave oven for one minute at HIGH 100%.

  1. Does the microwave oven light come on?
    YES __ NO __
  2. Does the cooling fan work? (Put your hand at top above Display.)

  • Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

shock hazard This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.


Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

  1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
  2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.


Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.


Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

  • A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  • Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • If a long cord or extension cord is used:
    • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
    • The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3- wire cord.
    • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
