Care And Cleaning Of Your Microwave - Panasonic A883 Operating Manual

Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven - IMPORTANT
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use. Failure
to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. A steam cleaner is not to be
used.
BEFORE CLEANING:
Remove plug from outlet. If impossible, leave oven door
open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
Inside of the oven:
Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent
may be used if the oven gets very
dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
The grill in the oven has a self-clean
catalytic lining. It is therefore not
necessary to clean the radiant grill
element or above the grill in the roof of
the oven.
After using CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION cooking the enamel
walls of the oven should be cleaned
with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy
water. Particular care should be taken
to keep the window area clean
particularly after cooking by
CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION. Stubborn spots inside
the oven can be removed by using a
small amount of branded conventional
oven-cleaner sprayed onto a soft
damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots,
leave for recommended time and then
wipe off. Avoid the microwave feed
guide area, the roof of the oven, and
the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY
INSIDE THE OVEN.
When GRILLING or cooking by
COMBINATION or CONVECTION
some foods may splatter grease onto
the enamel oven walls. If the oven is
not cleaned to eliminate this grease it
can accumulate and cause the oven to
ʻSMOKEʼ during use. These marks will
be more difficult to clean later.
AFTER CLEANING:
Be sure to replace the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in
the proper position and press Stop/Cancel Pad to clear
the Display Window.
Glass Tray:
Remove and wash in warm soapy
water or in a dishwasher, if grease
accumulates, clean with a non-
abrasive nylon mesh scouring pad
and non-abrasive cleanser.
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft cloth when steam
accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door. This may
occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit or of
microwave leakage.
Outside oven surfaces and
back vents.
Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, water should not be allowed
to seep into ventilation openings.
Control Panel:
• If it becomes wet, clean
with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use harsh detergents
or abrasives on the
Control panel.
Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:
Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent water or window cleaner and dry.
Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy
water or dishwasher. These areas should be
kept clean to avoid excessive noise and
scratching.
