Cleaning And Care - IKEA VALSKAPT Important Safety Instructions Manual

EN
Disconnect the power cord or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.
Disconnect the power cord before replacing filters and lights.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic.
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of
household or abrasive cleaner.
DOOR
Disconnect the power cord or deactivate the oven
with setting Child Lock before cleaning to prevent
unexpected manipulation.
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth
to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be
easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft
cloth.
Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as
they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated
to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no
baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean
the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and
warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil,
use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with
hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in
the microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so
requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover
clean to assure good microwave oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters
from the surface of the cover immediately after they
occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause
smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER.

CLEANING AND CARE

ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water,
grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole
cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for
several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in
microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft
cloth.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The turntable and turntable support can be
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild
cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. They
are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of
dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed,
so excess water or spills should be wiped up
immediately.
GREASE FILTER
Filter should be cleaned at least once a month.
Never operate the fan or microwave oven without
the filter in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of
the microwave oven and remove the filter.
2. Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled with hot
water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or
other alkali; they will react with the filter
material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove
embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
