3. Your
oven cavity
is constructed of zinc coated steel, painted with an extremely durable
coating. After use, the oven interior should be wiped out to remove any remaining water in
order to reduce the risk of corrosion to the cavity and door.
The cavity and door can be damaged by abrasive cleaners and sharp objects so care must
be taken to avoid damage caused in this way. If the cavity or door become damaged the
lining may begin to corrode. Providing the above precautions are taken regarding the
cleaning and care of your oven the life of the cavity and door may be extended.

should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive
noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven, particularly the turntable spindle and
the area surrounding this, with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth.
