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 adjustments
or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only
be made by an authorised service engineer.
Be sure the oven is off or the unit is
unplugged before cleaning.
Care and cleaning (grill)
The element may be stained with spattered fat or oil
while the oven is in use. Wait until the cavity cools
down and wipe off the spattered oil before next use
of the oven. Stains on the grill may cause unpleasant
odours and smoke.
Cleaning the accessories
(turnable, support and rack)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them
from the cavity. The turntable support 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 efficiency 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 ABRASI-
VE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLE-
ANERS 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 or 3 minutes. NEVER USE A
KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOIL-
AGE FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of
water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel.
This will prevent the oven from being turned on acci-
dentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the
oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by
a wiping with clear water to remove any excess deter-
gent. 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
working parts, do not allow water to seep into
ventilation openings.
