Care Of Your Oven - Panasonic NN-GD462M Operating Instructions Manual

Care of your oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Clean the inside of the oven, door
seals and door seal areas regularly.
When food splatters or spilled liquids
adhere to the oven walls, door seals
and door seal areas wipe off with a
damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if they get very dirty. The use
of harsh detergent or abrasive is not
recommended.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS.
3. 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 the glass.
4. The outside oven surface should
be cleaned with a damp cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts
inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation
openings.
5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives
on the Control Panel. When cleaning
the Control Panel leave the oven
door open to prevent the oven from
accidentally turning on. After cleaning
touch STOP/CANCEL button to clear
display window.
6. If steam accumulates inside or
around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur
when the oven is operated under high
humidity conditions and in no way
indicates a malfunction of the unit.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove
the glass tray for cleaning. Wash
the tray in warm soapy water or in a
dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven cavity oor
should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent and hot water then dry with
a clean cloth. The roller ring may be
washed in mild soapy water. Cooking
vapours collect during repeated use
but in no way affects the bottom
surface or roller ring wheels. After
removing the roller ring from the cavity
oor for cleaning, be sure to replace it
in the proper position.
9. When using the GRILL or
COMBINATION mode, some foods
may inevitably splatter grease on
to the oven walls. If the oven is not
cleaned occasionally, it may start to
"smoke" during use.
10. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
11. This oven should only be serviced by
quali ed personnel. For maintenance
and repair of the oven contact the
nearest authorized dealer.
12. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration
of surfaces that could affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
13. Keep air vents clean at all times.
Check that no dust or other material
is blocking any of the air vents on
the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If
air vents become blocked this could
cause overheating which would affect
the operation of the oven and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
