Door:

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. 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.

Oven Interior:

• For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.

• Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Oven Exterior:

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Control Panel:

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Care should be taken when cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Turntable and Turntable Support:

• Remove the turntable and turntable support from the oven.

• Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild soapy water.

• Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the turntable support are dishwasher safe.

Important Cleaning Note: Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, steam cleaners, abrasive, harsh cleaners, any that contain sodium hydroxide or scouring pads on any part of your microwave oven.

Heating Food and Drink (from chilled)

Manual Defrosting

Cooking from Frozen

• Composition: Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.

• Size: For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.

• Temperature of food: The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.

• Arrange: Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks).

• Cover: Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.

• Pierce: Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages). Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended.

• Stir, turn and rearrange: For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

• Stand: Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

• Shield: Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).
