5. Cleaning
Prior to all maintenance or cleaning work always pull out the mains plug and wait until the
appliance has cooled down.
5.1 Cavity
The cavity is made of stainless steel and therefore cleaning is extremely easy. Always keep the cover
panel of the microwave outlet opening free of oil and grease splashes.
5.2 Surfaces
Never use scouring agents, metal wool or sharp metal objects for cleaning the surfaces. Moreover, make
sure that no water or liquid cleaning agent enters the waste air and vapour extractor slits on the top of
the appliance. No alcohol, scouring agents or ammonia-containing cleaning agents are to be used for
cleaning the inside and outside of the door. To ensure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door
clean and make sure that dirt and food residues are not jammed between the door and the appliance
front.
5.3 Grill
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered to make cleaning easier. To avoid the danger of bur-
ning, wait until the grill is cold before lowering it. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the grill support by 90º.
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use excessive force as this may
cause damage.
3. The mica cover (3) located in the ceiling must always be kept clean.
Any food remains that collect on the mica cover can cause damage
or provoke sparks. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or sharp
objects. To avoid any risk, do not remove the mica cover.
Caution! After cleaning, correctly position the grill heating
element again and hook it on. The combination
microwave oven must not be operated with the grill heating element flapped
down. Never operate the microwave oven without a mica cover!
4. After cleaning the ceiling re-position the grill (2) by proceeding in reverse order.
5.4 Turntable
The turntable and the corresponding holder should also be removed for cleaning and the bottom of the
microwave oven cleaned from time to time.
Clean the turntable and the holder with normal washing-up liquid (they are also dishwasher-safe).
Do not immerse the turntable after prolonged heating in cold water; it would break owing to the severe
temperature shock.
