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 grill in 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 sprayed onto 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
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 tray 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.
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.
10.When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINA
TION 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 ‘SMOKE’ 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.
