Important
It is essential for the safe operation
of the oven that it is kept clean, and
wiped out after each use. Failure
to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration
of a surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
1. Switch the oven off before cleaning
and unplug at the socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door
seals and door seal areas clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids
adhere to oven walls, door seals
and door seal areas wipe off with a
damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if they get very dirty. The use of
harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.
3. After using grill, oven, steam,
Panacrunch and combination cooking
the walls of the oven should be cleaned
with a soft cloth and soapy water.
Particular care should be taken to
keep the window area clean especially
after cooking by grill, oven, steam,
Panacrunch and combination.
Stubborn spots inside the oven can
be removed by using a small amount
of conventional oven-cleaner sprayed
onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto
problem spots, leave for recommended
time and then wipe off. Do not spray
directly inside the oven.
4. After cooking with a steam function
,
wipe away any excess water which may
have condensed within the oven cavity.
Empty the drip tray (refer to page 14).
5. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they may scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
6. The outside oven surface should be
cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, water should not be allowed
to seep into the ventilation openings.
7. If the control panel
becomes dirty,
clean with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives
on control panel. When cleaning the
control panel, leave the oven door open
to prevent the oven from accidentally
turning on. After cleaning touch Stop/
Cancel to clear the display window.
8. If steam accumulates inside or around
the outside of the oven door, wipe with
a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under
high humidity conditions and in no way
indicates a malfunction of the unit or
microwave leakage.
9. The
oven cavity floor
should be
cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent and warm water then dry with
a clean cloth. Cooking vapours collect
during repeated use but in no way
affect the bottom surface.
10. When grilling or cooking by oven,
steam or combination some foods
may splatter grease onto the oven
walls. If the oven is not cleaned to
eliminate this grease, it can accumulate
and cause the oven to
‘smoke’
during
use. These marks will be more difficult
to clean later.
11. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning the appliance.
12. Ensure the Square Panacrunch Pan
is kept clean, especially when using
microwave or combination programs.
13. Keep air vents clear at all times.
Check that no dust or other material
is blocking any of the air vents on the
right side of the oven. If vents become
blocked this could cause overheating
which would affect the operation of the
oven and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
14. Run the system cleaning program
when the symbol shows in the display.
See page 58. Clean the water tank at
least once a week to prevent build up
of limescale. See page 59.
