MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of
a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
CLEANING
CAUTION
: Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1. Clean the cavity of the oven after use with a damp cloth.
2. Clean accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are
dirty.
4. 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.
Cleaning Tip - For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the cooked food can touch:
•
Place half a lemon in a bowl. Add 300ml water and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes.
•
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING

cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.
Dim oven light
In low power microwave cooking, the oven light may become dim.
This is normal.

dangerous.
