CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

OVEN INTERIOR

•It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use.

•To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.

•Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food debris is allowed to build-up in the oven interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

•Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material and should be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning instructions above). NOTE: Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the waveguide cover.

The waveguide cover is a consumable part and without regular cleaning, will need to be replaced.

•Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to wipe the oven dry. A build- up of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior.

OUTER CABINET

•Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.

NOTES:

•Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on the door seals or areas around the door. This may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves (follow the cleaning instructions opposite).

•Ensure the turntable and roller stay are cleaned after every use with a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. This will prevent the build-up of grease and food debris.

The turntable is dishwasher safe.

•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.

•The control panel must be wiped clean and dried with the door open, therefore inactivating the oven.

•Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

•A steam cleaner should not be used.

•Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor. Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
