Care of your oven
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, door
seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent
may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasive is not recommended.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS. 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 the glass.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When
cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the
oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning touch
STOP/CANCEL Pad to clear the display window.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning.
Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to
avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven
with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The
roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours
collect during repeated use but in no way affects the bottom surface
or roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from the cavity
floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
8. When using the GRILL or COMBINATION mode, ( NN-GD569M /
NN-GD559W) some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the
oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally, it may start to
“smoke” during use.
9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
10. This oven should only be serviced by qualified personnel.
For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest
authorized dealer.
11. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check that no dust or other material
is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven.
If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which
would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
12. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
