Care Of Your Oven - Panasonic HL-SF498S Operating Instructions Manual

Care of your Oven

1. Before cleaning turn the oven off
and allow to cool.
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,
base of the oven, 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 set
the child lock (see page 14). After
cleaning cancel the child lock (see
page 14).
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. The base of the oven should be
cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent and hot water then dry
with a clean cloth.
8. When using the convection/grill,
steam 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.
9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
10. This oven should only be serviced
by qualified personnel. For
maintenance and repair of the oven
contact the nearest authorised
dealer.
11. Keep air exhaust vents clean at all
times. Check that no dust or other
material is blocking the air exhaust
vents. If the air exhaust vents
become blocked this could cause
overheating which would affect the
operation of the oven and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
12. The back of the oven cavity has
a self-clean catalytic lining. It is
therefore not necessary to clean this
area.
13. Clean the oven accessories with
warm water and mild detergent.
