CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
NOTES:
• 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.
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.
• Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill,
refer to NOTE on page 10. Remaining food or
fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.
• 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.
• 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 accessories 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 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 washing-up
liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
• 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.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet, accessories and
especially the grills are completely cool.
