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

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.
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.

1. Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
2. Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces or on the roller ring with a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry.
3. To loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted lemon juice on the turntable and heat for ten minutes at maximum power.
4. Wash the dishwasher-safe plate whenever necessary.

Do not spill water in the vents. Never use any abrasive products or chemical solvents. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles:

• Accumulate
• Prevent the door from closing correctly

STORING AND REPAIRING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
