- It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
- The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent.

- If the light bulb burns out, contact customer service for replacement.
- The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface, affecting the life of the unit and potentially resulting in a hazardous situation.
Disposal:
- Do not dispose of this appliance into domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed of at the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
- When the microwave oven with grill function is first used, it may produce slight smoke and smell. This is a normal phenomenon, because the oven is made of a steel plate coated with lubricating oil, and the new oven will produce fumes and odor generated by burning the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will disappear after a period of using.
