Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
:
Risk of electric shock!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use
any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
:
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
:
Risk of injury!
Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a
crack. Do not use a glass scraper, or sharp or abrasive
cleaning aids or detergents.
Notes
■
Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
■ Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup
of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use
■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■
metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■ any coarse scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
■
cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Area Cleaning agents
Appliance front Hot soapy water:
Clean using a dish cloth and then dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use glass clean-
ers or metal or glass scrapers for clean-
ing.
Stainless steel Hot soapy water:
Clean using a dish cloth and then dry
with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of
limescale, grease, starch and albumin
(e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion
can form under such residues. Special
stainless steel cleaning agents can be
obtained from the after-sales service or
from specialist retailers.
Cooking compart-
ment made of stain-
less steel
Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution:
Clean using a dish cloth and then dry
with a soft cloth.
If the oven is very dirty: use oven
cleaner, but only when cooking com-
partment is cold. It is best to use a stain-
less-steel sponge. Do not use oven
spray or other aggressive oven cleaners
or abrasive materials. Scouring pads,
rough sponges and pan cleaners are
also unsuitable. These scratch the sur-
face. Allow the interior surfaces to dry
thoroughly.
Door panels Glass cleaner:
Clean with a dish cloth. Do not use a
glass scraper.
Door seal
Do not remove. Hot soapy water:
Clean with a dish cloth; do not scrub. Do
not use a metal or glass scraper for
cleaning.
