Microwave Oven RMW 963
MICROWAVE OVEN
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning is almost the only
maintenance operation required for the
microwave oven.
Warning! Clean the oven regularly.
Clean the remnants of food at the
chamber walls. If you do not keep the
oven clean, its surfaces will deteriorate,
which will reduce the service life of the
device and lead to a potential hazard.
Warning! Disconnect the oven from
power supply before cleaning. Unplug
the connecting cable from the outlet
and switch off the circuit breaker.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive
cleaning agents, or abrasives, which
can scratch the oven surfaces, or sharp
objects, as they can leave stains or
damages at the surfaces. Do not use
high-pressure and steam cleaning
devices.
Front surfaces
It is generally enough to wipe
the oven with a wet cloth. If the oven
is badly fouled, add a few drops of
dishwashing detergent into water. After
cleaning with a detergent, clean the
oven with a dry cloth.
Use a glass cleaner and a non-
shedding soft cloth to clean the
aluminium front panel. Wipe from side
to side without any pressure on the
surface.
Immediately wipe away any scale,
fat, starch and eggwhite stains, as they
can cause rust.
Avoid water entering the oven
chamber.
Inner surfaces
After each use, clean the chamber
walls with a soft cloth: it is the simplest
way to remove the remnants of food and
splatters deposited at the walls in the
process of cooking. To remove difficult
stains, use non-corrosive cleaners. Do
not use oven sprays and other corrosive
and abrasive cleaning agents.
Always keep clean the door and the
end surfaces of the oven, as this will
ensure the door is properly opened and
closed.
Make sure that water does not enter
the oven vents.
Regularly take out the turntable
with drive and clean the bottom of the
chamber, especially when a liquid has
been spilled.
Do not turn on the microwave oven
without the turntable and drive in place.
If the chamber surfaces are badly
fouled, put a cup of water onto the
turntable and turn the oven on for 2-3
minutes at maximum microwave power.
Steam will soften the dirt, and the oven
can be wiped with a soft cloth.
To remove offensive odours in the
oven (e.g. after cooking of fish) add
several drops of lemon juice in a cup of
water. Put a teaspoon or a coffee spoon
into the cup to prevent boiling.
