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.
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. Do not allow water 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. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass turntable
for cleaning. Wash the
turntable in warm soapy water.
7. The
roller ring and oven cavity floor
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. The roller
ring may be washed in mild soapy water.
Cooking vapours collect during repeated use
but in no way affect the bottom surface or the
roller ring wheels.
Replace properly after cleaning.
8. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
9. 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.

WHEN YOUR OVEN

mend 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 dam-
age 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.

The oven lamp must
be replaced by a service
technician trained by the
manufacturer. DO NOT
