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 back of the oven has a self-clean
catalytic lining. It is therefore not
necessary to clean this area.
4. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION cooking the 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
sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto
problem spots, leave for recommended
time and then wipe off. DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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 Button to clear
display window.
8. 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.
9. The oven cavity floor should be cleaned
regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface
of the oven with mild detergent and hot
water then dry with a clean cloth.
Cooking vapours collect during repeated
use but in no way affect the bottom
surface.
10. When GRILLING or cooking by
COMBINATION or CONVECTION some
foods may splatter grease onto the 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. There is no need to clean
the catalytic lining at the back of the
oven.
11. A steam cleaneris not to be used for
cleaning.
12. Ensure all accessories are kept
scrupulously clean, especially when using
microwave or combination programs.
13. Keep air vents clear 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 vents become blocked
this could cause overheating which would
affect the operation of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Care & 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
