CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1. Clean the cavity of the microwave after use with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a
damp cloth when they are dirty.
4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the microwave
door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the
glass.
Cleaning Tip---For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the cooked food can touch:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave
power for 10 minutes. Wipe the microwave clean using a soft, dry cloth.
UTENSILS CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard: It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified engineer
to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
See the instructions on “Suitable Cookware to use in Microwaves.” There may be certain
non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question following the procedure below:
Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the
utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
