HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM 
HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF 
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, 
oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND 
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven 
clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of 
the surface. This could adversely aff ect the life of 
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous 
situation.
Oven exterior
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with 
mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off  
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft 
towel.
Control panel
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the 
control panel. Care should be taken in cleaning the 
control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water 
only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use 
any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Oven Interior
1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft 
damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven 
is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and 
wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues 

are removed. Built-up splashes may overheat and 
begin to smoke or catch fi re, and cause arcing. Do not 
remove the waveguide cover.
2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not 
penetrate the small vents in the walls which may 
cause damage to the oven.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill and 
heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill 
(page GB-11). Remaining food or fat splashed can 
cause smoke or bad smell.
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile 
material and should be cleaned with care (follow the 
cleaning instructions above).
NOTE: Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of 
the waveguide cover.
The waveguide cover is a consumable part and 
without regular cleaning, will need to be replaced.
Accessories
The accessories like turntable, turntable support and 
rack should be washed in a mild washing up liquid 
solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.
Door
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides 
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a 
soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 -12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
