Tips for preventing arc burn marks inside the cavity of your Whirlpool microwave hood combo

Clean the cavity often. For stubborn residue, place 1 or 2 cups of water in a microwave-safe cup. Bring that to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes. The steam will soften the mess so that it’s easier to clean out. Keep rack supports clean or they can start to melt.

Cover food when cooking or reheating to avoid splatter.

Don't store the metal rack in the microwave and only place the rack in the microwave when it will be used for multi-level cooking. When using the rack, insert it correctly so it doesn't touch the sides or back of the microwave cavity and it’s mounted correctly in all of the rack supports. Never place the rack on the floor of the microwave. Never use the metal rack when cooking popcorn. As the bag expands, it could push the rack out of position and create arc or burn marks.

Common replacement parts for Whirlpool microwave hood combos

• Grease filters. Grease filters are aluminum mesh air filters that trap grease residue from smoke that gets drawn through the microwave hood combo by the exhaust fan.
• Light bulbs. Light bulbs illuminate the inside of the microwave hood combo cavity and the cooktop below the microwave hood combo.
• Cooking tray. The cooking tray holds foods being cooked inside the microwave cavity and rotates to cook foods evenly.
• Charcoal filter. The charcoal filter eliminates odors from exhaust air when the microwave hood combo exhaust system is set up to circulate exhaust air back into the kitchen space.
