Microwave Oven Cleaning And Maintenance - Zanussi FMW 5613 Instructions For The Use And Care

Microwave Oven cleaning and maintenance
Your microwave oven requires a
minimum of maintenance. To keep it free
from grease and soil build-up, the
microwave oven should be cleaned with
a damp cloth after each use. A soft nail
brush can be used to remove stubborn
stains. Use only a mild detergent, water
and a soft, clean cloth to clean the oven
facia and interior surfaces. 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 oven for 5-7 minutes.
This also helps in loosening any soil
which has dried on the oven. Be careful
not to scratch the door and interior
surface.
Wipe out excess moisture after each use.
Do not use: Abrasive cleaners, cleaning
pads or steel wool.
It will be necessary occasionally to
remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash
it in mild detergent solution and
thoroughly dry it before returning it to
the oven.
Oven Should Not be Used for Storage
Be sure the oven is cleaned carefully
after every use and is not used for
storage of paper products, books or
cooking utensils.
Important
The microwave oven door is not user
removable. Only service personnel are
entitled to do repair or adjustment.

the microwave oven with no food in it?

harmful?

microwave oven after cooking?

to worry about. It is caused by the
steam from the cooking food hitting a

moisture from inside of oven after
each use.

dim when using variable power?

seem to cool off faster than

It may be necessary to heat the food
for additional time..
