CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Clean Air Filter and Splash Shield with warm soapy water only.
3. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven
walls, 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.
4. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with
a soft 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 wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
7. For easier cleaning of the cavity walls, place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint)
water and heat on 100% microwave power for 1 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a
soft, dry cloth.
8. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door
glass since they can scratch the surface, which may cause the glass to shatter.

SPLASH SHIELD CLEANING

The splash shield prevents spattered fat, grease and food particles from entering and
damaging sensitive parts of the oven. The splash shield is fitted in the ceiling of the oven
cavity and can be carefully removed for cleaning. The splash shield should be cleaned daily
or as necessary.
1. Remove the splash shield by squeezing the front clips inwards as shown in the diagram
cleaning
below. Pull down and out on the splash shield to remove from the oven.
2. Wash the splash shield in mild soapy water. Do not use sanitiser or cleaning chemicals
as this may cause the splash shield to become brittle.
3. Reinsert the splash shield by positioning the rear of the shield into position first, then
raising the front of the shield upwards until the clips fit into their positioning holes.
Ensure that the splash shield is installed the correct way up.
