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. Take 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.
