CARE AND CLEANING
GB-24
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS,
ABRASIVE, 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 affect 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.
Oven controls
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven
controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the
oven control. 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 fire,
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
convection and grill, refer to “Heating without food”
on page GB-8. Remaining food or fat splashed can
cause smoke or bad smell.
Accessories
The accessories 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 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.
NOTE: 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.
