Cleaning
Clean the oven and seals to remove food debris on a weekly
basis and more often if required. Failure to maintain the oven
and seals in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface or seals, adversely affect the life of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation (possible release of
microwave energy).
Clean the oven after each use, if food is cooked uncovered and
especially if fatty foods are cooked and the grill function is used.
1. Switch off, unplug the oven and allow the oven to cool
completely.
2. Wipe surfaces and seals with a soft damp cloth (not wet).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or metal scrapers to
clean the glass door of the oven as this could damage the
surface and cause breakage. Do not immerse in water. Do
not use a steam cleaner.
3. The grill rack, glass turntable and turntable roller can be
washed in hot water with a little washing up liquid. NOT
SUITABLE FOR DISHWASHERS.
4. Always allow surfaces to fully dry before using the oven
again.

General microwave cooking advice
• Food cooking times will vary with microwave wattage (MAFF
rating). When following recipes and on pack cooking
instructions always check the MAFF rating / wattage of the
appliance being used (marked on the front of the microwave)
and follow the corresponding cooking advice.
• Beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
• Remove lids from containers before placing in the microwave,
pierce plastic films and do not use vessels with sealed or
restricted openings since they are liable to explode.
• Pierce the skin or membranes of food (e.g. potatoes, apples,
fish, chicken, eggs) in several places before cooking. Never
cook or heat eggs in their shell or whole hard boiled eggs, as
they may explode even after cooking has been completed.
• Ensure food is similar size and density. Large dense items
take longer to cook than small ones e.g. potatoes take longer
to cook than peas.
• Food quantity will affect the cooking time, e.g. two potatoes
take longer than one.
• The shape of food will affect the cooking time; place the
thickest part of food on the outside of the plate.
• Leave food to stand for a short period after cooking or
defrosting to allow the temperature to become uniform.
