Care & cleaning
Do not attempt to tamper with or make
any adjustments or repairs to any part of
the oven. Repairs should only be made by
an authorised service engineer.
Be sure the oven is off or the unit
!
is unplugged before cleaning.
Do not clean your microwave oven with a
vapor cleaner.
The oven must always be clean. Failure to
clean the appliance regularly may damage
its surfaces, reduce durability and lead to
hazardous operation. Residue of food
from spill-overs or spatters that is allowed
to remain on the oven walls, door seal
and door surface will absorb microwave
energy causing it to burn on. This could
reduce the efficiency of the oven, and
possibly damage the oven interior.
Cleaning the accessories
(turnable, support and rack)
Clean them with mild detergent after
removing them from the cavity. The turnta-
ble support should be carefully handled.
The inside of the oven and turnta-
!
ble get very hot, so do not touch
them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water
and a soft, clean cloth to remove soilage.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS,
COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR
STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF
THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of
water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3
minutes. NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY
UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM
OVEN SURFACES.
Cleaning the exterior
To remove odours from the oven interior,
boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of
lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Open the oven door when cleaning the
control panel. This will prevent the oven
from being turned on accidentally. You
should clean outside surfaces of the oven
with mild liquid detergent and water fol-
lowed by a wiping with clear water to
remove any excess detergent. Dry with a
soft cloth. Pay special attention to the
door seal and front of the cavity which
must be kept clean at all times. If these
surfaces are damaged because of exces-
sive soiling, call in a specialised techni-
cian before using your microwave oven.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose
spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be
used. Never use abrasive cleaners, scou-
ring pads or harsh chemicals on outside
surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage
to the working parts, do not allow water to
seep into ventilation openings.
