Care and cleaning
With thorough care and cleaning your microwave oven
will retain its looks and remain good order. We will
explain here how you should care for and clean your
appliance correctly.
ã
Risk of short circuit!
Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
ã
Risk of burns!
Do not clean the appliance immediately after
switching it off. Let the appliance cool down with the
door closed.
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 output.
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 or cleaning sponges.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the glass cover: The glass oven light cover is
located on the left side wall inside the oven. Undo the
screw from the cover. Then you can clean the glass
with detergent solution.
ã
Risk of burns!
The glass cover for the oven light becomes hot.
Always wear heat-resistant gloves when handling the
glass cover.
Self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment:
The interior back wall of the oven is coated with self-
cleaning enamel. It cleans itself while the oven is in
operation. Sometimes, larger splashes of food may
not disappear until the oven has been operated
several times. Residue left by spices and similar
ingredients can be removed with a dry cloth or a soft
brush.
Notes
‒ Never treat the self-cleaning surface with oven
cleaner. If oven cleaner is accidentally applied to
the interior back wall, remove it immediately with
a sponge and plenty of water.
‒ Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will
scratch or irreparably damage the highly porous
coating.
‒ Never clean the self-cleaning surface with a
scouring pad.
‒ Light discolouration of the enamel does not affect
self-cleaning.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and
side walls: Use a dish cloth and hot detergent solution
or a vinegar solution.
