Care of your Oven and Cleaning
It is essential that you follow these points to get the maximum use from your oven. Microwaves are attracted to
moisture and grease: therefore a dirty oven does not cook EFFICIENTLY.
Caution: Do not clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals. The
heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.
1. Before Cleaning
Unplug the oven at the socket.
2. Door Seals
Pay special attention to cleaning the door seals and
door seal areas.
Regularly wipe the Drip Ledge to avoid a build up of
moisture and grease.
3. Door
Keep the inside glass of the door clean by wiping
regularly with a soft damp cloth. Small amounts of
oven cleaner can be used––DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY onto door––spray onto a cloth and wipe
oven. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive.
4. Oven Walls
The walls should be wiped regularly with a soft damp
cloth. Small amounts of oven cleaner can be
used––DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY onto walls––spray
onto a cloth and wipe over.
DO NOT ALLOW OVEN CLEANER NEAR THE
HOLES IN THE WALL OF THE OVEN. If corrosive
cleaner gets behind the oven wall, your oven could be
damaged. Do not allow cleaning liquids to seep into
openings.
Excess grease can be softened for ease of cleaning by
placing 500 - 800 ml of hot water in a microwave-safe
bowl with a chopped fresh lemon. Heat on High Power
for 15 - 20 min. The moisture produced on the walls
should be wiped with a soapy cloth.
5. Floor
The wave guide is situated beneath the ceramic base
of the oven. Any spills must therefore be wiped to
ensure even heating. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives.
6. Roof
The roof contains the 4 Quarts elements. Before
cleaning ensure oven has cooled to avoid burns. Wipe
the roof regularly with a damp cloth to minimize build
up of grease and smoke.
7. Control Panel
If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on
Control Panel. Do not use a saturated cloth as the
remaining moisture may damage the panel. When
cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open
to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After
cleaning touch Stop/Reset Pad to clear display
window.
