Microwave oven cleaning
*THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SHOULD
BE DISCONNECTED BY REMOVING
THE PLUG FROM THE SOCKET
BEFORE CLEANING.
It is important to wipe up all spillages as
these can affect the cooking time. The
spillages absorb microwave energy and
prolong the cooking time.
To keep the oven free from grease and
soil build-up, it should be cleaned with a
damp cloth after use. A soft nail brush can
be used to remove stubborn stains.
Odours can be eliminated from the inside
of the oven by boiling a solution of one cup
of water and several tablespoons of lemon
juice in the cavity. We would also
recommend occasionally wiping the oven
interior with a sterilising fluid e.g. Milton,
in the interest of hygiene.
Only use a mild detergent, water and a
soft, clean cloth to clean the oven face and
other surfaces, and polish dry with a soft
cloth or paper towelling. Do not use
aerosol, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or
scrape the interior surface with knives or
other utensils. This could cause the
enamel paint to come off, exposing the
metal underneath. Any exposed metal
could cause sparking or arcing, and further
damage to the oven.
Wipe out crumbs that fall between the
door and the frame with a damp cloth. It is
important that the door seal area is kept
clean. If there is a greasy film on the oven
door, a small amount of vinegar water can
be used to remove the grease. Rinse with
cold water and polish dry with a soft cloth
or paper towelling.
The light bulb
If the light bulb should bum out, it is very
easy to replace.
1. Unplug the microwave oven from the
mains supply.
2. Remove the smaller of the two access
covers on the outside back of the oven by
removing the screw (where fitted) or
pressing the bottom centre upwards to
release the clip. (The access cover is also
an air vent).
3. Take out the burned out light bulb and
replace with a 40W round bulb with E14
screw cap.
4. Replace the access cover and fixing
screw (where fitted). This cover must be
in place before operating the oven.
5. Plug in the microwave oven and it is
ready for use again.
