Care & Cleaning Of Your Oven - Panasonic NN-DF386M Operating Instruction And Cook Book

Care & cleaning of your oven
Important
It is essential for the safe operation
of the oven that it is kept clean, and
wiped out after each use. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condi-
tion could lead to deterioration of a
surface that could adversely affect
the life of the appliance and possi-
bly result in a hazardous situation.
1. Switch the oven off before cleaning
and unplug at socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door
seals and door seal areas clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids
adhere to 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 abrasives is not
recommended.
3. After using GRILL, OVEN, and COM-
BINATION cooking the walls of the
oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth
squeezed in soapy water.
Particular care should be taken to keep
the window area clean particularly after
cooking by GRILL, OVEN and COM-
BINATION. Stubborn spots inside the
oven can be removed by using a small
amount of branded conventional oven-
cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth.
Wipe onto problem spots, leave for
recommended time and then wipe off.
DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY
INSIDE THE OVEN.
4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they may scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
5. 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.
6. If the control panel becomes dirty,
clean with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use
harsh detergents or abrasives on 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 to clear the
display window.
7. 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 a malfunction of the unit or
microwave leakage.
8. The oven cavity fl oor should be
cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent and hot water then dry with
a clean cloth. Cooking vapours collect
during repeated use but in no way affect
the bottom surface.
9. When GRILLING or cooking by
OVEN or COMBINATION some foods
may splatter grease onto the oven walls.
If the oven is not cleaned to eliminate
this grease, it can accumulate and cause
the oven to 'SMOKE' during use. These
marks will be more diffi cult to clean later.
10. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
11. Ensure all accessories are kept
scrupulously clean, especially when
using microwave or combination
programs.
12. Keep air vents clear 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 vents
become blocked this could cause
overheating which would affect the
operation of the oven and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.
