Care and cleaning
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally
required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should
be cleaned regularly, removing all food
remains. If the microwave is not kept
clean its surfaces may deteriorate,
reducing the oven’s working life and
possibly resulting in a dangerous
situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with
the oven power switched off. Take the
plug out of the socket or switch off the
oven’s power circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet clean-
ing appliances.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they
are very dirty, soak them first of all and then
use a brush and sponge. The accessories
can be washed in a dish washing machine.
Make sure that the turntable plate and the
respective support are always clean. Do not
switch on the oven unless the turntable and
the respective support are in place.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with
a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few
drops of dish washing liquid to the cleaning
water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry
cloth.
Use a glass cleaning product and a soft cloth
that does not release any fibres or threads.
Wipe from side to side without exerting any
pressure on the surface.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg
white stains. Corrosion can occur under
these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the
inside walls with a damp cloth since this is
the easiest way to remove splashes or spots
of food that may have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a
non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use
oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very
clean to ensure that the door opens and
closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the micro-
wave ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the
respective support and clean the cavity base,
especially after any liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the turn-
table and the respective support being in
place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of
water on the turntable and switch on the mi-
crowave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum
power. The steam released will soften the dirt
which can then be cleaned easily using a soft
cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish)
can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of
lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a spoon-
ful of coffee in the cup to avoid the water
