ENGLISH

GB-16

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. 
Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as 
listed below.

Microwave Safe

Comments

Aluminium foil 
Foil containers

 / 

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep 
foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are 
not recommended unless specifi ed by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow 
instructions carefully.

Browning dishes

Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating time given. 
Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.

China and ceramics

 / 

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except 
for those with metallic decoration.

Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®

Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated 
suddenly.

Metal

It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will arc, which can lead to fi re.

Plastic/Polystyrene e.g fast food 
containers

Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high 
temperatures.

Cling fi lm

It should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam escape.

Freezer/Roasting bags

Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. 
Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fi re due to the metal 
‘arcing’.

Paper - plates, cups and kitchen 
paper

Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating 
may cause fi re.

Straw and wooden containers

Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fi re.

Recycled paper and newspaper

May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’ and may lead to fi re.

 WARNING:

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

 

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM 
CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN 
SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF 
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
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.

Control panel

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. 
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. Use a cloth 
damp 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 cleaners on the oven interior.
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material and 
should be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning instructions 
above).

NOTE:

 Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the waveguide 

cover.
The waveguide cover is a consumable part and without regular 
cleaning, will need to be replaced.

Turntable and 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 traces 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 
glass oven door since they can scratch the surface, which may result 
in shattering of the glass. 

NOTE:

 A steam cleaner should not be used.

Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:

Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 -12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
