Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the
standing time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause.
Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.

Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the
centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

Care and cleaning

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.

Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.

Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully
handled.

CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the interior

Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.

NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the Grill

The element may be stained with spattered fat or oil while the oven is in use. Wait until the cavity cools down
and wipe off the spattered oil before next using of the oven. Stains grill may cause unpleasant odours and
smoke.

The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water penetrating under the turntable
spindle when the bottom of the oven is being cleaned.

To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element can be lowered by gently
pulling the grill element downwards. Ensure that the element is not hot before doing this.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.

Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
