- Cooling Feature: The oven fan operates for approximately 3 minutes after cooking (for programs over 2 minutes) or when paused, to cool the oven and prolong its lifespan.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The oven should be turned off and unplugged before cleaning. The interior, exterior, door, window, door seals, and adjacent parts should be wiped with a damp cloth. Mild detergents can be used for stubborn dirt. Abrasive cleaners, sprays, or harsh cleaners should be avoided as they may damage surfaces.
- Glass Tray and Roller Ring: These components should be removed and washed regularly in warm sudsy water or a dishwasher to prevent excessive noise and ensure proper operation.
- Odor Removal: Odors can be removed by microwaving a cup of water with lemon juice and skin for 5 minutes, then wiping the oven thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Light Bulb Replacement: If the light bulb burns out, customer service should be contacted for replacement.
- Regular Cleaning Importance: Regular cleaning and removal of food deposits are crucial to prevent deterioration of surfaces, which could adversely affect the unit's lifespan and potentially lead to hazardous situations.
- Initial Use Smoke/Smell: During the first use of the microwave oven with the grill function, slight smoke and smell may occur. This is normal and is due to the burning off of lubricating oil from the steel plate coating, and will dissipate after a period of use.
- Air Circulation: The distance holders at the back and sides of the oven must not be removed, as they ensure minimum distance from the wall for adequate air circulation.
