CLEANING AND CARE
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.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity,
door, oven cabinet and accessories are
completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven
clean, if not there could be a deterioration of the
oven cavity. This 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.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a
soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.

Door Seals

Always keep the door seals clean to prevent any
damage. If water condenses inside the door seals,
wipe dry with a soft cloth. Polish with another soft
cloth. Do not use a chemical or abrasive cleaner
on these surfaces. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, pull or move the seals. Before cooking,
always check that door seals is lying smooth and fl at.
If not, steam will leak from the door. Do not use the
oven if it has a damaged door seals. Consult your
dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.

Oven interior

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
•
After every use: Wipe the
oven walls with a soft cloth
and warm water (or mild
soapy water) while the oven
is still warm. Not cleaning the
oven will lead to a build up of
food deposits inside the cavity.
•
Do not use caustic cleaners (acidic/alkaline), spray
type cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring
pads as it may damage the surface of oven walls.

For removal of OIL AND FOOD SPLASHES on oven walls:

1. Fill the water tank with room temperature drinking
water to the MAX mark.
2. Operate the oven with Steam High for 10 minutes
without food. See page 14
.
3.
After the steaming, wipe the dirt in the oven interior
with a dry soft cloth while the oven is still warm.
Be aware that the grill heating element and steam
outlets may be still hot, so take care when wiping
the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The grill heating
element will turn on for a very short time before the
end of the operation.) And then, we recommend to
operate the oven with Grill for 3 minutes without
food and accessories for drying the water off
around grill heating element.

Steam Tray / Glass Tray / Rack

Wash the steam tray, glass tray and rack after cooking
with a mild soap or detergent solution, rinsing and
polishing dry. Do not use harsh cleaners, sharp metal
scrapers or stiff brushes to prevent damage to the easy
clean surface. All the accessories can be washed in
the dishwasher. Do not leave the steam tray and rack
wet.

Water Tank and Water Tank Lid

After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent solution
with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and polish dry.
Do not wash in the dishwasher. Do not use harsh
cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes on the
water tank and water tank lid.

Drip Tray

Empty the drip tray after cooking, wash in a mild soap
or detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge,
rinse, polish dry and replace below the oven front. Do
not wash in the dishwasher.

Descaling within the Oven’s Steam Parts

During steam production, scale may form in the steam
generator. To remove scale, carry out descale function
when "DESCALE" flashes on and off in the display.
See page 9 for complete instructions.
Key Point for Cleaning - Immediately and
frequently!
The food splashes and oily meat juice, remaining
on the oven interior walls will get stuck and hard
to remove if it is not cleaned immediately and after
each use. The usage of the steam function will assist
in this cleaning process. They will be also perishable
by the infl uence of steam.
