Cleaning and care
80
Disconnect the microwave oven from
the power supply before cleaning.
Under no circumstances should a
steam cleaner be used to clean the
microwave oven.
The steam could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Oven interior and inside of the
door
Risk of burning due to hot oven
compartment.
The oven compartment may be too
hot to clean immediately after use.
Clean the oven interior once it has
cooled down.
Fire hazard due to excessive
soiling.
Excessive soiling could damage the
appliance in certain circumstances
and could even be dangerous due to
the fire risk.
Do not wait too long to clean the
appliance as this will make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in extreme
cases, impossible.
The microwave oven interior and door
interior can be cleaned using a damp
cloth with a little washing-up liquid or a
mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of
water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water
begins to boil. The steam will collect on
the walls and soften the soiling. The
oven interior can now be wiped clean
using a little washing-up liquid if
necessary.
Do not remove the cover from the
microwave outlet inside the oven.
Do not let water or any object find its
way into or block the air vents of the
appliance.
Do not use too much water on the
cloth or sponge, otherwise water
may get into openings.
Do not use scouring agents. These
will scratch.
To neutralise odours in the microwave
oven, put a cup of water with some
lemon juice in the appliance and
simmer for a few minutes.
