cleaning your microwave
• The microwave should be cleaned regularly and food deposits removed.
Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean condition can affect the life of
the microwave and possibly result in a hazardous situation. (See cleaning your
microwave.)
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the unit.
• 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.
do not use these in your microwave
• Metal objects are not to be used in the microwave. These include:
- Metal cooking utensils
- Metal plates or trays
- Wire twist ties
- Crockery with metal trims
- Meat thermometer
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave.
The microwave energy cannot pass through metal so it bounces off and sparks
against the inside of the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim
can cause sparks.
containers
