Cleaning your Microwave
Cleaning your microwave after each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks
that can be dicult to clean.
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to cool down completely before cleaning.

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.
