Cleaning Your Microwave - Kenwood K20MSS15 Instruction Manual

cleaning your microwave

Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that
can be difficult to clean.
• Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.
• On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed
through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept
clean at all times. Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry. If grease is left to
accumulate, it can smoke and even catch fire. Do not remove the wave guide cover.
• The microwave walls have a special enamel coating which makes cleaning very easy. Use a soft
damp cloth to wipe off any splashes or a paper towel to mop up any spills. Wipe off grease with
a damp cloth and a little detergent. Dry thoroughly. If grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke
and even catch fire.
• Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.
• Keep the front of the microwave clean so that the door can close properly.
• Be careful not to spill water into the vents.
• Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp cloth. Use warm soapy water for stubborn marks
and dry thoroughly. The inside of the door has a special coating and must not be cleaned with
abrasive pads or cleaning powders.
• Clean behind the door ledge.
• Wipe with a damp cloth to clean the outside of the microwave. Do not use abrasive pads or
powders that could scratch the surface.
• Unplug the microwave before cleaning the power lead and the microwave. Wipe with a damp
cloth and leave to dry before plugging it back in.
• Treat the glass turntable plate as you would any glass plate. After you have used it for more
than 15 minutes, allow it to cool down before you use it again. Do not wash the glass turntable
plate in very hot water, doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable support in warm water. Make
sure the glass turntable plate and turntable support are dry before you put them back in the
microwave.
Do not remove any fixed parts from the inside of your microwave during cleaning or at
any other time.
