1. Switch the oven off
before cleaning and
unplug at 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 detergents or abrasives is not
recommended.
3.
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.
4.
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 Pad to clear display
window.
5. 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.
6. The oven cavity floor
should be cleaned
regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of
the oven with mild detergent and hot water
then dry with a clean cloth. Cooking
vapours collect during repeated use but in
no way affect the bottom surface.
7.
A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
8.
Keep air vents clear at all times. Check that
no dust or other material is blocking any of
the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of
the oven. If air vents become blocked this
could cause overheating which would affect
the operation of the oven, and could lead to
a hazardous situation.
Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven
Maintenance of your oven
1.
Service
WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A
SERVICE call your local Panasonic engi-
neer. You can look on the web site
(www.panasonic.co.uk) under the “support”
option, where a service dealer locator can
be found or alternatively call our Customer
Care Centre on 0844 8443868 who can
recommend an engineer. It is hazardous
for anyone other than a competent person
to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover
which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
2.
Door Seals
Do not attempt to tamper with or make any
adjustments or repairs to door, control
panel housing, safety interlock switches or
any other part of the oven. Do not remove
outer panel from oven. The door seals and
door seal areas should always be kept
clean – use a damp cloth.
N.B.
The appliance should be inspected for
damage to the door seals and door seal
areas. If these areas are damaged the
appliance should not be operated until it
has been repaired by a service technician
trained by the manufacturer.
3.
Oven Light
The oven lamp must be replaced by a
service technician trained by the
manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to remove
the outer casing from the oven.
4.
Selected Spares and Accessories
These may be ordered direct; on line at
www.panasonic.co.uk or by telephoning the
Customer Care Centre 0844 8443856.
Most major credit and debit cards accept-
ed. Ensure you quote the correct model
number.
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 the
surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
