CHAPTER 4 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning and maintenance are carried out, always disconnect the
plug from the power socket and wait for the appliance to cool down.
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to which
splashes and food particles do not stick, thus making cleaning particularly sim-
ple. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and
splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal tools when clean-
ing the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water or liq-
uid detergent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top of the
appliance.
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based
detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that
dirt and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front
panel of the oven.
Check from time to time that the ventilation openings located on the back and
underneath the cabinet which houses the appliance are free from any obstruc-
tions or dust.
Contact your Service Assistance Centre for any necessary controls of the venti-
lation openings found on the back of the appliance.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its corresponding support (I) peri-
odically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using mild soap. They can
also be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sud-
den change in temperature would cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water pene-
trating under the turntable spindle (D) when the bottom of the oven is being
cleaned.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element
can be lowered by turning the ceramic hook.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, reposition and refasten the electrical element. The
oven must not be used with the element in the lowered positioned.
