TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN

1. Keep the inside of the oven clean
   Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between the seal and door surfaces. It is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times and may even damage the oven. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The metal tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
2. Keep the outside of the oven clean
   Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet before cleaning the oven to eliminate the possibility of electric shock. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, the water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. To clean control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from accidentally starting, and wipe a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press STOP after cleaning.
3. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. Steam or condensation build up inside the door is normal if foods are heated for a long period on higher power levels. This is not a malfunction.the condensation will eventually evaporate. Try covering the food or vary the heating levels and time to reduce any condensation forming in the door, this may also occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
4. The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use only warm, soapy water, rinse then dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.
   Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.
