CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR
• It is important to clean the interior of your microwave
oven after each use.
• To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent
solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm
water on a soft cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners
(including alkali, acid, thinner, benzin, alcohol or
oven cleaner).
• Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill.
refer to "Heating without food" on page GB-13.
Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke
or bad smell.
• Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven
walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food debris is
allowed to build-up in the oven interior it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next
using the oven.
• 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.
• Food will release steam during cooking and
cause condensation inside the oven and door. It
is important to wipe the oven dry. A build-up of
condensation will eventually lead to rust forming
on the oven interior.
•
Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on the
door seals or areas around the door. This may
prevent the door from closing correctly and
may cause a leakage of microwaves (follow the
cleaning instructions).
• Ensure the accessories are cleaned after every use
with a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried.
This will prevent the build-up of grease and food
debris. The accessories are dishwasher safe.
• Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean
at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity
or accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing,
smoke or even catch fire when next using the
oven.
•
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to a deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
OUTER CABINET
• Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with
a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up
liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
• The control panel must be wiped clean and dried
with the door open, therefore inactivating the
oven.
NOTES:
• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
• A steam cleaner should not be used.
• Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor. Excess
water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grill, is likely to occur. This is normal and will not
affect the ovens performance.
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.
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.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
