Important safety instructions
Care and cleaning of your
Microwave oven - important
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 detergents or
abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not allow
water to seep into the ventilation
openings.
4. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean
with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the 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.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around
the outside of the oven door, wipe with
a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high
humidity conditions and in no way
indicates a malfunction of the unit or
microwave leakage.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove
the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash
the turntable in warm soapy water.
7. 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. Cooking vapours
collect during repeated use but in no
way affect the bottom surface or the
roller ring wheels. Replace properly after
cleaning.
8. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
9. 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.
