Cleaning
Unplug your oven
before you clean it.
The oven walls have a special
enamel coating which makes
cleaning very easy. Use a soft
damp cloth to wipe off any
splashes or a paper towel to mop
up any spills. Wipe off grease with
a damp cloth and a little detergent.
Dry thoroughly. As with any oven,
if grease is left to accumulate, it
can smoke and even catch fire.
Clean behind
the door ledge.
Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp cloth. Use
warm soapy water for stubborn marks and dry
thoroughly.
The inside of the door has a special coating and must not
be cleaned with abrasive pads or cleaning powders
Check that the door
catches are clean.
Keep the front of the
oven clean so that the
door can close
properly.
Use warm soapy water to
clean the outside of the
oven. Do not use abrasive
pads or powders that
could scratch the surface.
Unplug the oven before
cleaning the power lead.
Wipe with a damp cloth
and leave to dry before
plugging it back in.
Be careful not to spill
water into the vents.
Treat the turntable as
you would any glass
plate. After you have
used it for more than 15
minutes, allow it to cool
down before you use it
again. Do not wash the
turntable in very hot
water that could crack it.
Make sure the turntable
is dry before you put it
back in the oven.
Cleaning your microwave
Cleaning your oven each time you use it will help to prevent stubborn marks that can be difficult to clean.
Make sure you
keep the outlet
grids clean.
Wash the rotating ring
and defrost rack in
warm water. Do not use
very hot water which
could make it warp.
Wash racks in warm water.
Do not use very hot water
on the racks which could
make them warp.
Do not remove any fixed parts from the inside
of your microwave oven during cleaning or at
any other time.
Warning
Ensure you unplug your
microwave from the mains and
wait for the oven to cool down
completely before cleaning.
Caution
Pay attention to the area around
the wave guide cover which if not
regularly cleaned can collect food
residue creating a potential fire
hazard.
Hint
On the right hand side wall of
the cavity is the wave guide
cover, microwaves are passed
though this to enable your food
to cook. It is important that this
wave guide cover is kept clean
at all times. To do this wipe with
mild detergent and water, then
dry.
