HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM
HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door,
oven cabinet and accessories 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 aff ect 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.
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. Built-up splashes
may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fi re, and
cause arcing. 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 type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection
and grill. Remaining food or fat can cause smoke or a
bad smell.
5. Food will release steam during cook ing 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.
SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER: 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).
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.
Accessories
The accessories such as the turntable and rack should
be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and
dried. They 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.
