ENGLISH
C AUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH
CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROX-
IDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door,
oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS – Keep the oven
clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of
the surface. This could adversely aff ect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
Oven exterior
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with
mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft
towel.
Oven controls
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the
oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning
the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water
only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use
any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Oven Interior
1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft
damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven
is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and
wipe several times with a damp cloth until all resi-
dues are removed. Built-up splashes may overheat
and begin to smoke or catch fi re, and cause arcing.
Do not remove the waveguide cover.
2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not pen-
etrate the small vents in the walls which may cause
damage to the oven.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection
and grill. Remaining food or fat can cause smoke or a
bad smell.
5. Food will release steam during cooking and cause
condensation inside the oven and door. It is impor-
tant to wipe the oven dry. A build up of condensa-
tion will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven
interior.
SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER: Keep the
waveguide cover clean at all times. The waveguide
cover is constructed from a fragile material and should
be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning instructions
above).
Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the
waveguide cover. The waveguide cover is a consum-
able part and without regular cleaning, will need to
be replaced.
Accessories
The accessories like turntable and rack should be
washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and
dried. They are dishwasher safe.
Door
To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a
soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass oven door
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.
Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 -12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
• If you cook food for more than the standard time (see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the oven's safety
mechanisms automatically activate. The microwave power level will be reduced or the grill heating element will
turn on and off .
