Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven -
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 condition could lead to deterioration of a surface
that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly 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. The roof of the oven has a self-clean
catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary
to clean the radiant grill element or above the
grill in the roof of the oven.
4. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION cooking the enamel 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
CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION.
Stubborn spots inside the oven can be
removed by using a small amount of branded
conventional oven-cleaner applied to a soft
damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave
for recommended time and then wipe off.
Avoid the microwave feed guide area, the roof
of the oven, and the door. DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
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 Pad
to clear 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
IMPORTANT
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the
turntable in warm soapy water. Do not place in
the dishwasher.
9. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should
be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven,
particularly the turntable spindle and the area
surrounding this, with mild detergent and hot
water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller
ring may be washed in mild soapy water. After
removing the roller ring from the cavity floor
for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper
position.
10.When GRILLING or cooking by
COMBINATION or CONVECTION some
foods may splatter grease onto the enamel
oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to
eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and
cause the oven to ʻSMOKEʼ during use. These
marks will be more difficult to clean later.
11.Ensure all accessories are kept scrupulously
clean, especially when using microwave or
combination programs.
12.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
13.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.
14. Keep air vents clean 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 air vents become blocked this could
cause overheating which would affect the
operation of the oven and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
