With careful care and cleaning your microwave
oven will retain its looks and remain in good order.
We will explain here how you should care for and
clean your appliance correctly.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock,
DO NOT use any high-pressure cleaners or steam
cleaners.
RISK OF BURNS!
Never clean the appliance immediately after
switching off, let the appliance cool down first.
RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO HEALTH!
Microwave energy may escape if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is damaged.
Never use the appliance if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is damaged.
Contact customer service or a qualified technician.
NOTES
• Slight differences in colour on the front of the
appliance are caused by the use of different
materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
• Shadows on the door panel which look like
streaks, are caused by reflections made by the
oven light.
• Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been
prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a
few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place
a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2
minutes at maximum microwave power.
CLEANING AGENTS
To ensure that the different surfaces are not
damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent,
observe the information in the table. Do not use
• sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
• metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the
appliance door.
• metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
• hard scouring pads and sponges,
• cleaning agents with high concentrations of
alcohol. Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly
before use.
Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before using
the appliance again.
