Oven cleaning and maintenance
OVEN CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being
removed. 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. fake 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 cleaning appliances.
Front Surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops
of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
In an oven with an aluminium front, 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 microwave 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 turntable 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
microwave 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 spoonful of coffee in the cup to avoid the water boiling over.
Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.
