CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or
pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any
load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven
if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service technician. It is particularly important that the
oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
i) Door(bent)
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;
6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
