Care and cleaning
The oven must always be clean. Residue of
food from spill-overs or spatters will absorb
microwave energy causing it to burn on. This
could reduce the efficiency of the oven and
may cause unpleasant odours. Do not
attempt to tamper with or make any adjust-
ments or repairs to any part of the oven.
Repairs should only be made by an authori-
sed service engineer.
Always ensure that the oven is dis-
connected from the electricity supply
before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories
Clean them with mild detergent after remo-
ving them from the cavity. The turntable sup-
port should be carefully handled.
The inside of the oven and turntable
get very hot, so do not touch them
immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Soilage that is allowed to remain on the
oven walls, door seal and door surface will
absorb microwave energy, reduce the effici-
ency of the oven, and possibly damage the
oven interior.
Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and
a soft, clean cloth to remove soilage.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS,
COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR
STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF
THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of water
in the microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL
TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM OVEN SUR-
FACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil
a cup of water containing 2 tablespoons of
lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the con-
trol panel. This will prevent the oven from
being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfa-
ces of the oven with mild liquid detergent
and water, followed by a wiping with clear
water to remove any excess detergent. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose
spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads
or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of
your oven. To prevent damage to the wor-
king parts, do not allow water to seep into
the ventilation openings.
