Care of your Oven and Cleaning
It is essential that you follow these points to get the maximum use from your oven. Microwaves are attracted to moisture and grease: therefore a dirty oven does not cook EFFICIENTLY.
1. Before Cleaning
Switch off at the socket.
Cool the oven before cleaning. Use the COOLING programme. (See page 27)
The door may be left open to cool the oven quickly.
2. Door seals
Pay special attention to cleaning the door seals and door seal areas.
Regularly wipe the Drip Ledge to avoid a build up of moisture and grease.
3. Door
Keep the inside glass of the door clean by wiping regularly with a soft damp cloth. Small amounts of oven cleaner can be used - DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY onto door - spray onto a cloth and wipe over.
Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
4. Oven walls
The walls should be wiped regularly with a soft damp cloth. Small amounts of oven cleaner can be used - DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY onto walls - spray onto a cloth and wipe over.
DO NOT ALLOW OVEN CLEANER NEAR THE HOLES IN THE WALL OF THE OVEN. If corrosive cleaner gets behind the wall, your oven could be damaged.
Do not allow cleaning liquids to seep into openings. Keep the shelf runners free from grease and food debris.
The back wall of the oven has a heat resistant coating. Clean this area with oven cleaner applied onto a cloth and wipe over.
Do not use wire wool scourers to clean the oven interior.
Excess grease can be softened for ease of cleaning by placing 1 - 1 1/2 pints of hot water in a microwave- safe bowl with a chopped, fresh lemon. Heat on High Power for 10 - 15 minutes. The moisture produced on the walls should then be wiped with a soapy cloth.
5. Floor
The wave guide is situated beneath the ceramic base of the oven. Any spills must be wiped off to ensure even heating. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
6. Roof
The roof contains the 4 Quartz Grill elements. Before cleaning ensure oven has cooled to avoid burns. Wipe the roof regularly with a damp cloth to minimise build up of grease.
7. Control Panel / SD Card Cover
If the control panel and SD Card Cover becomes dirty, clean with a soft, dry or well wrung cloth.
Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive on Control Panel. DO NOT use a saturated cloth as the remaining moisture may damage the panel.
