CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains socket and wait for
the oven to cool down.
Cleaning
To keep your appliance in optimum conditions, clean the door and the inside
and outside of the oven regularly with a damp cloth and neutral soap or liquid
detergent. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) free from grease or
splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool or sharp metal utensils to clean the outside
of the oven. Do not allow water or liquid detergent to penetrate the air and
steam outlet vents on the top of the appliance.
Use of alcohol, steel wool, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based detergents to
clean internal surfaces and in particular the door is not recommended in order
to avoid scratches and lines.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly.
Make sure that dirt and food residues do not build up between the door and
the front panel of the oven.
Never steam clean the inside of the oven.
Clean the air intakes on the back of the oven regularly to ensure they are not
obstructed with dust and dirt.
From time to time, remove the turntable (G) and support (H) for cleaning. Also
clean the bottom of the oven.
Wash the turntable and support with water and neutral soap (they can be
washed in a dishwasher).
Never plunge the hot turntable into cold water. The sudden change in
temperature could cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed.
However, when cleaning the bottom of the oven, make sure the water does not penetrate
under the turntable spindle (D).

following simple controls first.
p r o b l e m

Condensation on the cooking surface and
inside the oven

c a u s e / r e m e d y
The door is not closed properly.

When foods containing water are cooked, it is quite normal for the steam
generated to condense into water inside the oven and on the work surface
beneath.
Never turn the oven on without food when using microwave or combi functions.
When using microwave functions, do not use metal containers or bags or
packs with metal staples.
Select the correct cooking mode or increase cooking time.
