Care and Cleaning of your Microwave Oven
Inside of the oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after 
using. Mild detergent may be 
used if needed.
Do not use harsh detergents or 
abrasives.
Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating 
parts inside the oven, water 
should not be allowed to seep into 
ventilation openings.
Control Panel: *  Covered with a removable 
protective film to prevent 
scratches during shipping. Small 
bubbles may appear under this 
film.
  (Hint - To remove film, apply 
masking or clear tape to an 
exposed corner and pull gently.)
*  If the Control Panel becomes 
wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. 
Do not use harsh detergents or 
abrasives.
Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates 
inside or around the outside of the oven door. During 
cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, 
steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will 
condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. 
This is normal.)
Inside surface is covered with reinforced glass as a heat 
and vapor barrier. Do not remove.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY.
FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE 
TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, AND 
OVEN SEAMS.
Notes:
•  When decalcifying the oven, only use decalcifying agents with a citric acid base. Do not use vinegar or decalcifying agents 
containing vinegar or acetic acid, they will damage the appliance.
•  Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam from the cleaning appliance could penetrate live components and 
permanently damage the oven or cause injury. 
•  Never use cleaners containing sand, silica, soda, chlorides or scouring agents. Hard brushes, scouring cloths, steel wool and 
other abrasive materials should not be used.
•  Only use tap water to fill the Water Tank. Never use distilled or mineral water.
•  Never exceed the 350ml water level marker when filling up the Water Tank.
•  Clean the Water Tank and Sealed Lid frequently. Never remove the sealing band from around the Water Tank Lid, as leaking 
water would result in electrical failure and danger of electric shock.
•  The Drip Tray, Metal Pan, Glass Tray and Ceramic Cover should be washed and dried each time they are used. They can be 
washed in the dishwasher.
Rubber Seal: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. 
Mild detergent may be used 
if needed. Do not use knife or 
sharp edge.
Oven Cavity Floor: Always clean the Ceramic Plate after cooling 
down with a mild detergent and wipe to dry.
Ceramic Cover: Always clean the Ceramic Cover with a mild 
detergent to avoid obstruction. Clean the cover 
after the oven cools down. After using the steam 
function and the oven is cooling down, dry up the 
water in the evaporating Channel.
Water Tank: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Mild 
detergent may be used if needed. Do 
not put in the dish washer.

   Before Requesting Service
These things are normal:
The oven causes interference with my TV. Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave 
oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances 
such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your 
oven.
Steam accumulates on the oven door and 
warm air comes from the oven vents.During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam 
and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven 
cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven 
door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 
39).
