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
•Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill, refer to NOTE on page 12. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.
•Food and liquid splashes will
•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.
•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).
NOTES:
•Ensure the accessories are cleaned after every use with a mild
The accessories are 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.
OUTER CABINET
•Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with a mild detergent solution, such as
•The control panel must be wiped clean and dried with the door open, therefore inactivating the oven.
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.
•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.
•Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grills, is likely to occur. This is normal and will not affect the ovens performance.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grills are completely cool.
