CLEANING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up: • Inside and outside surfaces • Door and door seals • Turntable and Roller rings (Turntable type model only) ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.
Clean the microwave oven cavity right after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury. When cleaning the upper part inside the cavity, it will be convenient to turn heater downward by 45 ° and clean it. (Swing heater model only) STORING AND REPAIRING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your microwave oven serviced.
Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis. Do not use a damaged power plug, damaged power cord or loose wall socket. When the power plug or power cord is damaged, contact your nearest service centre. Do not pull or excessively bend or place heavy objecton the power cord. Do not pour or directly spray water onto the oven. Do not place objects on the oven, inside or on the door of the oven.
Do not operate the microwave oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling. Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam. CAUTION Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
