CAUTION: 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 away 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 un-
til all residues are removed. Built-up splashes may
overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and
cause arcing. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
2. Make sure that the mild soap or water does not
penetrate 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 convec-
tion and grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can
cause smoke or 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, turntable support, rack
and crisp plate should be washed in a mild washing
up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.
SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT:
After cooking, always clean the turntable support,
especially around the rollers. These must be free from
food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease
may overheat and cause arcing, begin to smoke or
catch fi re.
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 .
