Care & cleaning

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Oven controls

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven Interior

1.For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

2.Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.

3.Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

Turntable & turntable support

Remove the turntable and turntable support from the oven. Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the turntable support are dishwasher safe.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

What to do if...

... the microwave appliance is not working properly ?

Check that

-the fuses in the fuse box are working,

-the ovenware does not extend beyond the turntable,

-food does not extend beyond the edge of the turntable preventing it from rotating.

-there is nothing in the well beneath the turntable.

-Isolate the appliance from the fuse box.

-Contact your local Service Force Centre.

... the interior light is not working ?

-Call your local Service Force Centre. The interior light bulb can be exchanged only by trained Service Force technicians.

... the food is taking longer to heat through and cook than before ?

-Set a longer cooking time (double quantity = nearly double time) or

-if the food is colder than usual, rotate or turn from time to time or

-set a higher power setting.

NOTE: If you cook the food over the standard time with only 800 W, the power of the oven will lower automatically to avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced to 560 W). After pausing for 90 seconds,

800 W power can be reset.
