Do not start cleaning the microwave until it has completely cooled.
• Typically you should only ever need to clean your microwave with a small amount of warm soapy water, or
light cleaning products to assist with the removal of fat or oil emulsions. This is the same for the microwave
components, such as the turntable and turntable support ring.
• Your microwave should be cleaned after every use.
• After cleaning your microwave cavity, you should wipe it dry.
IMPORTANT:
Never dismantle your microwave. Any maintenance work should only ever be undertaken by a
suitably qualified and licenced person. For any questions, please contact the Residentia Group
