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. Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or a bad smell. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease.

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.

7. HINTS AND TIPS

7.1 Microwave safe cookware

Cookware Microwave safeComments
Aluminium foil/containers√ / ✘Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
China and ceramics√ / ✘Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly.
MetalIt is not recommended to use metal cookware when using microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Plastic/polystyrene e.g. fast food containersCare must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures.
Freezer/roasting bagsMust be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing.
Paper-plates, cups and kitchen paperOnly use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and wooden containersAlways attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper and newspaperMay contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may lead to fire.

7.2 Microwave cooking advice

Microwave cooking advice
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 foodThe 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 Placethe 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).ELECTROLUX KMFD172TEW - Microwave cooking advice - 1IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).
Stir, turn and rearrangeFor 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).

ELECTROLUX KMFD172TEW - Microwave cooking advice - 2

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
