Cleaning Your Microwave
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that can
be difficult to clean.
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to cool down completely before cleaning.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover, microwaves are passed though this to
enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times.
Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.
The oven walls have a special enamel coating
which makes cleaning very easy. Use a soft
damp cloth to wipe off any splashes or a paper
towel to mop up any spills. Wipe off grease
with a damp cloth and a little detergent. Dry
thoroughly. As with any oven, if grease is left to
accumulate, it can smoke and even catch fire.

Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.

Keep the front of the oven clean so that the
door can close properly.

Be careful not to spill water into the vents.

Do not remove wave guide cover: It is
important to keep cover clean in the same
manner as the inside of the oven. If grease
is left to accumulate, it can smoke and even
catch fire.

Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp
cloth. Use warm soapy water for stubborn
marks and dry thoroughly.
The inside of the door has a special coating
and must not be cleaned with abrasive pads or
cleaning powders.

Clean behind the door ledge.

Treat the turntable as you would any glass
plate. After you have used it for more than 15
minutes, allow it to cool down before you use
it again. Do not wash the turntable in very hot
water that could crack it.
Make sure the turntable is dry before you put it
back in the oven.
Wash the rotating ring and defrost rack in
warm water. Do not use very hot water which
could make it warp.
Wash racks in warm water. Do not use very hot
water on the racks which could make them
warp.

that could scratch the surface.

power lead and the microwave.
