CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
disconnect the microwave oven from the mains
supply and allow it to cool to room temperature.
General Advice
Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke
and bad odours during cooking and also sparking in
the oven cavity and around the door seal.
Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate
inside the oven cavity or on the door seal.
Make sure that the waveguide cover is kept clean at
all times. Should food deposits or grease be allowed
to accumulate on the cover, sparking will occur and
may damage your oven invalidating the warranty.
Oven Door
Remove any food deposits and grease between the
door seal and oven cavity using a damp cloth, it is
important to keep this area clean at all times.
Interior Walls
Remove any grease splashes from the oven cavity
walls with soap and water, then rinse and dry.
The door seal and oven cavity have to be
particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will
close properly and to avoid sparking between the
oven cavity and door assembly.
GB-13
Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be

Do not use abrasive products such as scouring pads
which will damage the surfaces of the oven cavity
and door.
Only warm soapy water must be used to clean
surfaces.
Outer Surfaces
To clean the outside surface, use a damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive products such as scouring pads
that may damage the cosmetic surfaces. Make sure
water does not seep into the ventilation slots.
Accessories should be washed in warm soapy water
by hand.
CAUTION:
Some waveguide covers can be easily damaged,
take care when cleaning.
Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher.
Cleaning surfaces that come into contact with food
For hygiene safety the glass tray should be cleaned
regularly as it may come into contact with food.
It should be cleaned with warm soapy water and
dried thoroughly.
If the inside of the oven cavity and door seal are not
kept perfectly clean, there is a danger of damage
due to sparking inside the oven cavity invalidating
the warranty.
Never scrape the oven cavity walls with sharp
objects.
