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.
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
fl at. If not, steam will leak from the door. Do not use
the oven if it has a damaged door seals. Consult a
service centre approved by SHARP.
Oven interior
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• After every use: Wipe the
oven walls with a soft cloth
and warm 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 (fi ltered) through the lid to the
MAX mark.
2. Operate the oven with Steam Cook High for 10
minutes without food. See page 16.
3. After the steaming, wipe the dirt 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
intermittently during the cooking.) 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” fl ashes on and off in the
display. See page 10 for complete instructions.
Key Point for Cleaning - Immediately and
frequently!
The food may splash during cooking and oily meat
juice, remaining on the oven interior walls will get
stuck and will be 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.
