Cleaning & Maintenance
With careful 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.
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.
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 the after-sales
service.
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.
HOW TO CLEAN VARIOUS OVEN COMPONENTS
Appliance front
Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or metal
or glass scrapers for cleaning.
Appliance front with stainless steel
Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with
a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch
and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion
can form under such residues. Special stainless steel
cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-sales
service or from specialist shops. Do not use glass
cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for cleaning.
Cooking compartment
Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution: Clean with a dish
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
If the oven is very dirty: Do not use oven spray or
other aggressive oven cleaners or abrasive materials.
Scouring pads, rough sponges and pan cleaners are also
unsuitable. These items scratch the surface. Allow the
interior surfaces to dry thoroughly.
Recess in cooking compartment
Damp cloth: Ensure that no water seeps through the
turntable drive into the appliance interior.
Wire racks
Hot soapy water: Clean using stainless steel cleaning
agent or in the dishwasher.
Door panel
Glass cleaner: Clean with a dish cloth. Do not use
a glass scraper.
Seal
Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth, do not scour.
Do not use a metal or glass scraper for cleaning.
