Care And Cleaning - Sharp R-42CV(ST) Operation Manual

CARE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the power supply cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven.
Before cleaning ensure oven cavity is cool.
OVEN INTERIOR:
• It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use.
• To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a
soft cloth.
• Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food or splatters can cause smoke or odours.
• Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food debris is
allowed to build-up in the oven interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
• Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material
and should be cleaned with care ( follow the cleaning instructions above ) .
• Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to
wipe the oven dry. A build-up of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on the door seals or areas around the door. This may prevent the
door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves ( follow the cleaning instructions
below ) .
• Ensure the accessories are cleaned after every use with a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. This
will prevent the build-up of grease and food debris. The accessories are dishwasher safe.
• Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
OUTER CABINET:
• Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with
warm water on a soft cloth.
• The control panel must be wiped clean and dried with the door open, therefore inactivating the oven.
DOOR:
• To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a
soft, damp cloth.
• 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.
NOTES:
• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
• A steam cleaner should not be used.
• Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor. Excess
water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grills, is likely to occur. This is normal and will
not affect the ovens performance.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grills are
completely cool.
