ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity,

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.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection
and grill, refer to "Heating without food" on page
GB-13. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause
smoke or bad smell.

CARE AND CLEANING

Accessories
The accessories should be washed in a mild washing
up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.
SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT
After cooking, always clean the turntable support,
especially around the rollers. These must be free from
food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease
may overheat and cause arcing, begin to smoke or
catch fire.
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.
