Disconnect the plug from the socket before beginning any cleaning or maintenance operations.
Cleaning
To keep your microwave oven in the best condition, you are advised to clean regularly the door as
well as the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and neutral soap or
liquid detergent. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (F) free
of fat or splashed grease. Never use abrasive detergents, scour-
ing pads or tools with metal rivets when you clean the oven's
exterior. In addition, be careful not to let water or liquid detergent
seep into the air and steam outlet slots located atop the oven.
Do not use ammonia-based detergents. We likewise recommend
that you do not use alcohol, steel wool or abrasive detergents to
clean the inside and outside door surfaces in order to avoid
scraches. To be assured of perfect closing, always keep the inner portion of
the oven door clean, being careful not to let any dirt or food residue get
caught between the door and the front of the oven.
Give a regular cleaning to the air intake holes found on the
back of the oven so that they will not become blocked up with
dust or dirt deposits as time goes by.
Every now and then, it will be necessary to remove the turntable
(D) and its support device (E) and clean them, just as you must
for the floor of the oven itself. Wash the turntable and its support
device in sudsy water obtained by using neutral soap (these pieces may
likewise be cleaned in a dishwasher). Never place the turntable in cold water after a pro-
longed heating session; the extreme thermal shock could irreparably damage the
turntable. The turntable motor is sealed tight. When you are cleaning the floor of the oven, however,
be careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (B).
