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. After GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the ceiling and 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 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. Avoid the microwave feed guide area, and
oven door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for
cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water.
8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned
regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven 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.
After removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure
to replace it in the proper position.
9. When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINATION 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 ‘SMOKE’ during use. These marks will be more difficult to
clean later.
10.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
