OVEN INTERIOR
• 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 14. 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.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on
the door seals or areas around the door.
This may prevent the door from closing

instructions).
• 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.
SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT
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.
• C L E A N T H E OV E N AT R E G U L A R
INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD
DEPOSITS.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
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.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
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.
