SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON
ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door,
oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grill
heating element 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 affect 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.
Door
To remove all trace 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 oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may result
in shattering of the glass.
Door Seals
Always keep the door seals clean to prevent any
damage. If water condenses inside the door seals,
wipe dry with a soft cloth. Polish with another soft
cloth. Do not use a chemical or abrasive cleaner
on these surfaces. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, pull or move the seals. Before cooking,
always check that door seals is lying smooth and flat.
If not, steam will leak from the door. Do not use the
oven if it has a damaged door seals. Consult your
dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
Oven interior
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• After every use: Wipe the
oven walls with a soft cloth
and war m water (or mild
soapy water) while the oven
is still warm. Using the oven
without cleaning may lead
spatters to get stuck.
• Do not use caustic cleaners (acidic/alkaline), spray
type cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring
pads as it may damage the surface of oven walls.
For removal of OIL AND FOOD SPLASHES on oven walls:
1. Fill the water tank with room temperature water suitable
for drinking (filtered) through the lid to the MAX mark.
2. Operate the oven with Steam High for 10 minutes
without food. See page EN-15.
3. After the steaming, wipe the dir t in the oven
interior with a dry soft cloth while the oven is still
warm. Be aware that the grill heating element and
steam outlets may be still hot, so take care when
wiping the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The grill
heating element will turn on for a very short time
before at the end of the operation.) And then, we
recommend to operate the oven with Grill for 3
minutes without food and accessories for drying
the water off around grill heating element.
Steam Tray / Glass Tray / Rack
Wash steam tray, glass tray and rack after cooking
with a mild soap or detergent solution, rinsing and
polishing dry. Do not use harsh cleaners, sharp
metal scrapers or stiff brushes to prevent damage to
the easy clean surface. All the accessories can be
washed in the dishwasher. Do not leave the steam
tray and rack wet.
Water Tank and Water Tank Lid
After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent solution
with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and polish
dry. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Do not use harsh
cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes on the
water tank and water tank lid.
Drip Tray
Empty drip tray after cooking, wash in a mild soap or
detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge,
rinse, polish dry and replace below the oven front. Do
not wash in the dishwasher.
Descaling within the Oven’s Steam Parts
During steam production, scale may form in the
steam generator. To remove scale, carry out descale
function when "DESCALE" flashes on and off in the
display. See page EN-10 for complete instructions.
Key Point for Cleaning - Immediately and
frequently!
The food splashes and oily meat juice, remaining
on the oven interior walls will get stuck and hard
to remove if it is not cleaned immediately and after
each use. The usage of the steam function will
assist in this cleaning process. They will be also
perishable by the influence of steam.
