2. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp
cloth when they are dirty.
4. 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.

half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ML (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power
for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
