Cleaning Programs

F1. Drain Water

Water is pumped through the system to clean the pipes. The water is drained into the drip tray

Note

1. Only run this program with 100 g of water in the tank.
2. Do not remove the drip tray during the drain water program.
3. Empty the drip tray and rinse with running water after the program has finished.

F2. System Cleaning

The first stage of this program cleans the system with a citric acid solution. The second stage runs water through the system to rinse the pipes.

F3. Deodorization

This feature is recommended for eliminating any odours from the oven.

F4. Cavity Cleaning

This feature is suitable for removing the build up of fat or grease in the cavity

Cleaning the Water Tank

Clean with a soft sponge in water.

Remove the water tank and clean the compartment where the water tank is inserted.	Open the water supply cap, remove the lid and pipe cap and clean.
If the pipe cap is difficlult to remove, wiggle from side to side. When re-fitting, make sure that the pipe faces down (see diagram).

The rubber seal of the tank can also be removed for cleaning.

Removing the Rubber Seal

Ensure that the rubber seal is not inside out when re-fitting. If the seal is not fitted correctly the lid will not close securely and it will leak.

Note

1. Clean the water tank at least once a week to prevent build up of limescale
2. Do not use a dishwasher to clean the water tank or parts of the water tank.

Care & Cleaning of Your Oven

1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at the socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
3. After using grill, convection, steam and combination cooking the walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean especially after cooking by grill, convection, steam and combination. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of branded conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. Do not spray directly inside the oven
4. After cooking with a steam function, check and wipe away any excess water which may have condensed within the oven cavity. Empty the drip tray (refer to page 19).
5. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they may scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
6. The outside oven surface 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.
7. If the control panel becomes dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on control panel. When cleaning the control panel, unplug the socket. Leave the oven door closed.
8. 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 conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.
9. The oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and warm water then dry with a clean cloth. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface.
10. When grilling or cooking by convection, steam or combination some foods may splatter grease onto the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to ‘smoke’ during use. These marks will be more difficult to clean later.
11. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
12. Ensure all accessories are kept clean, especially when using microwave or combination programs.
13. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check that no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top of the oven. If vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
14. Run the system cleaning program when the symbol shows in the display. See pages 87. Clean the water tank at least once a week to prevent build up of limescale. See page 89.

Questions & Answers

Q: Why won’t my oven turn on?

A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet.

If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized Service Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: The oven won’t accept my program. Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven will not accept a fourth stage.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why?

A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: I can’t set an auto cook program and ‘HOT’ appears in the display. Why?

A: If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from previous use and an auto program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may still be set manually.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer in the oven?

A: Only when you are using Grill/Convection cooking mode. The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on Microwave and Combination with Microwave cooking modes.

Q: There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by Combination. What is causing these noises?

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from one power to another to create the combination setting. This is normal.

Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the Combination and Grill function. Why?

A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven without food. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

Q: The oven stops cooking by microwave and ‘H97’ or ‘H98’ appears in the display. Why?

A: This display indicates a problem with the microwave generation system. Please contact an authorised Service Centre.

Q: The fan continues to rotate after cooking. Why?

A: After using the oven, the fan motor may rotate to cool the electrical components. This is normal and you can continue using the oven at this time.

Q: “DEMO MODE PRESS ANY KEY” appears in the display and the oven does not cook. Why?

A: The oven has been programmed in DEMO MODE. This mode is designed for retail store display. Deactivate this mode by touching Microwave once and Stop/Cancel 4 times.

Q: The operation guide has disappeared on my display, I can only see numbers?

A: The operation guide was turned off by tapping Timer/Clock 4 times. When colon or time of day is displayed, touch Timer/Clock 4 times to turn the operation guide back on.

Q: The oven stops cooking by steam or combination with steam and U14 appears in the display.

A: The water tank is empty and the operation guide has been turned off. Re-fill the water tank, position back in the oven and touch Start/ Confirmation to resume cooking.

Q: The control panel keys do not respond when tapped. Why?

A: Ensure the oven is plugged in. The oven may be in stand-by mode. Open and close the door to activate.
