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.

Control panel

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Care should be taken when
cleaning the control panel. 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 residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

2. Make sure that 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 grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause

smoke or a bad smell.

Turntable & turntable support

Remove the turntable and turntable support from the oven. Wash the turntable and turntable
support in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the turntable support
are dishwasher safe.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing
surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the
glass. 

Racks

These should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. The racks are
dishwasher safe.

If you cook the food over the standard time with only the same cooking mode, the power of
the oven will lower automatically to avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be
reduced or the grill heating element will begin to light on and off.) After pausing for 90
seconds, full power can be reset.
