•  It is important to clean the interior of your 

microwave oven after each use.

•  To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent 

solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm 
water on a soft cloth.

•  Heat up your oven regularly by using the 

convection and grill, refer to “Heating without 
food” on page 12. Remaining food or fat splashed 
can cause smoke or bad smell.

•  Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven 

walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food debris is 
allowed to build-up in the oven interior it may 
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next 
using the oven.

• 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.

•  Food will release steam during cooking and 

cause condensation inside the oven and door. It 
is important to wipe the oven dry. A build-up of 
condensation will eventually lead to rust forming 
on the oven interior.

•  Ensure the accessories are cleaned after every 

use with a mild washing-up liquid solution and 
dried. This will prevent the build-up of grease and 
food debris. The accessories are dishwasher safe.

•  Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at 

all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or 
accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or 
even catch fire when next using the oven.

  After cooking, always clean the turntable support, 

especially around the rollers. These must be free 
from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes 
or grease may overheat and cause arcing, begin to 
smoke or catch fire.

NOTES:
•  Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
•  A steam cleaner should not be used.
•  Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor. Excess 

water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.

•  Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grill, is likely to occur. This is normal and will not 

affect the ovens performance.

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.

OUTER CABINET
•  Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with a 

mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, 
with warm water on a soft cloth.

•  The control panel must be wiped clean and dried 

with the door open, therefore inactivating the 
oven.

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 harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp 

metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since 
they can scratch the surface, which may result in 
shattering of the glass.
