CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before beginning any cleaning or maintenance, always pull this oven's plug from the electrical
outlet and wait for the oven itself to cool down completely
Cleaning
To maintain your appliance in the best condition, the door and
the inside and outside of the oven should be cleaned regularly,
C
using a soft cloth and neutral soap or liquid detergent. Always
keep the microwave outlet cover (C) free of fat or splashed
grease.
Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp metal
utensils. In addition, when cleaning the outside of the oven, be
careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air outlet and
steam slots located atop the appliance.
We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, abrasive detergents
or ammonia-based detergents to clean the inside and outside door
surfaces.
To ensure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door clean, and
do not let dirt and food residue get caught between the door and the oven's façade.
Do not steam clean the inside of the oven.
Clean the air inlet holes located on the back of the oven
regularly so that no dust or dirt will build up over time to
obstruct those holes.
From time to time, it will be necessary to remove the turntable
(F) and its support (G) and clean them, just as it will be
necessary to clean the bottom of the oven.
Wash the turntable and its support in warm soapy water with neutral soap. These parts may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not place the turntable in cold water after the oven has been hot for a long time. The strong
thermal shock could cause the turntable to break.
The turntable's motor is sealed tight. When you are cleaning the bottom of the oven, however, be
careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (D).
