Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. This is normal. It is occasionally necessary to remove the Glass Plate (turn table) for cleaning. Wash the plate in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position. Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. 10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult Customer Care. 11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 12. When the microwave oven with grill function is first used, it may produce slight smoke and smell. This is a normal phenomenon, because the oven is made of a steel plate coated with lubricating oil, and the new oven will produce fumes and odours generated by burning the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will disappear after a period of using. 9. 13. The packaging materials that we use are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. 14. Please do not dispose this appliance in the domestic rubbish bin. It should be disposed to the particular disposal centre provided by the local waste authority. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. 11 Built-in installation instructions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF. Please note that if a technician is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge. The appliance must be accessible for the technician to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that a technician is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then they will not complete a repair. This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in, sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in front of the appliance, like plinths. Or any installation other than the one specified by the manufacturer has been completed.
