NSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof

E

and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.

W

HEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACC ESSORIES in the micro-

wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accesso­ries made of metal or metal parts.

F ACCESSOR IES CONTAIN ING METAL comes in contact

I

with the oven interior, while the oven is in op­eration, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.

LWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn

A

freely before starting the oven. If the turntable
isn’t able to turn freely you should use a small­er vessel or the TurnTable stop function (see
Large vessels).

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired. It must be carried out with the micro­wave oven disconnected.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely a ect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

O NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS ,

D

ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-

wool pads, gritty wash­cloths, etc. which can
damage the control pan­el, and the interior and exterior oven sur­faces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.

AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially
if spill overs have occurred, re­move the turntable, the turnta­ble support and wipe the base of
the oven clean.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta­ble in place.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven
when the turntable has been removed
for cleaning.

USE A SOFT AND DAMP CLOTH with mild detergent

to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of
the door and the door opening.

DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to
build up around the door.

FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac­ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few
minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
