CLEANING THE MICROWAVE

Before you clean the oven,

turn it off and unplug it.

Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food or liquids stick to

the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend that you

do not use harsh detergent or abrasives.

On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover,

microwaves are passed through this to enable your food to cook.

It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times.

To do this wipe with mild detergent and water, then dry.

You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp cloth.

Do

not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.

Do not allow the control panel to become wet.

Clean with a soft,

damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners

on the control panel.

If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door,

wipe with a soft cloth. This may happen when the microwave oven

is used in humid conditions.

Regularly remove the glass turntable to clean it, and wash it in

warm soapy water. Regularly clean the turntable support and oven

floor. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild

detergent and water, then dry. You can wash the turntable support

in mild soapy water.

When removing the turntable support of the oven, make sure you

put it back properly.

If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice

and skin of one lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for

three minutes, wipe thoroughly and then dry with a soft cloth.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition, especially if

liquid is left under the turntable, could lead to deterioration of the

surface that will adversely affect the life of the appliance that may

result in a hazardous condition.
