CARE ANDCLEANING

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, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of the surface. 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.

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. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and cause arcing. 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. Do not use caustic cleaners.

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

4.Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill, refer to note b “Heating without food” on page GB-7. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.

Accessories

The accessories should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.

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.

NOTE: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
