CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent,
rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on
an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also
damaged to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired
by a trained service technician.

A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before
cooking.

energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is
closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
