Taking Care Of Your Oven - Panasonic NE-C1153 Operating Instructions Manual

Taking Care of Your Oven

It is essential that you follow these points to get the maximum use from your oven. Microwaves are attracted to
moisture and grease: therefore a dirty oven does not cook EFFICIENTLY.
Caution: Do not clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals.
The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.
DO NOT clean this oven by spraying with water.
1. Before Cleaning
2. Door Seals
3. Door
4. Oven Walls
5. Oven Floor
Unplug the oven at the socket.
Pay special attention to cleaning the door seals and
door seal areas.
Regularly wipe the Drip Ledge to avoid a build up of
moisture and grease.
Keep the inside glass of the door clean by wiping
regularly with a soft damp cloth. Small amounts of
oven cleaner can be used––DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY onto door––spray onto a cloth and wipe
oven. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
The walls should be wiped regularly with a soft damp
cloth. Small amounts of oven cleaner can be
used––DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY onto walls––spray
onto a cloth and wipe.
DO NOT ALLOW OVEN CLEANER NEAR THE
HOLES IN THE WALL OF THE OVEN. If corrosive
cleaner gets behind the oven wall, your oven could be
damaged. Do not allow cleaning liquids to seep into
openings.
Excess grease can be softened for ease of cleaning by
placing 500 - 800 ml of hot water in a microwave-safe
bowl with a chopped fresh lemon. Heat on High Power
for 15 - 20 min. The moisture produced on the walls
should be wiped with a soapy cloth.
The wave guides are situated beneath the ceramic
base of the oven. Any spills must therefore be wiped
clean to ensure even heating. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives.
