OVEN CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning is the only maintenance
normally required.
WARNING!
Your microwave oven should be
cleaned regularly, with all food
remains being removed. If the
microwave is not kept clean its
surfaces may deteriorate,
reducing the oven's working life
and possibly resulting in a
dangerous situation.
WARNING!
Cleaning should be done with the
oven power switched off. Take
the plug out of the socket or
switch off the oven's power
circuit.
Do not use aggressive or
abrasive cleaning products,
scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may
appear.
Do not use high pressure or
stream jet cleaning appliances.
FRONT SURFACE
Normally you just need to clean the
oven with a damp cloth. If it is very
dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing
liquid to the cleaning water.
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry
cloth.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or
egg white stains. Corrosion can occur
under these stains. Do not let any
water get inside the oven.
OVEN INTERIOR
After each time the oven is used, clean
the inside walls with a damp cloth
since this is the easiest way to remove
splashes or spots of food that may
have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift,
use a non-aggressive cleaning
product. Do not use oven sprays or
other aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products.
Always keep the door and the oven
front very clean to ensure that the door
opens and closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the
microwave ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate
and the respective support and clean
the cavity base, especially after any
liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable and the respective support
being in place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a
glass of water on the turntable and
switch on the microwave oven for 2 or
3 minutes at maximum power. The
steam released will soften the dirt
which can then be cleaned easily
using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking
fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a
few drops of lemon juice in a cup with
water. Put a spoonful of coffee in the
cup to avoid the water boiling over.
Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
OVEN CEILING
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can
be lowered to make cleaning easier.
To avoid the danger of burning, wait
until the grill is cold before lowering it.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the grill support by 180º (1).
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not
use excessive force as this may
cause damage.
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the
grill (2) back in its place, carrying
out the previous operation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The grill heatiXng element support (1)
may fall when it is rotated. If this
happens, insert the grill heating
element support (1) into the slot in the
ceiling of the cavity and rotate it 180º
to the grill heating element support (2)
position.
