CHAPTER 3 - CARE AND CLEANING

3.1 CLEANING

Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the plug and wait for the
appliance to cool down, before any cleaning and maintenance is carried out.
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to which
splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly simple.
Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and
splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal tools when clean-
ing the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water or liquid
detergent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top of the appli-
ance. It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-
based detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
Do not steam clean the inside of the oven.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that
dirt and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front
panel of the oven.
Check from time to time that the ventilation openings located on the back and
underneath the cabinet which houses the appliance are free from any obstructions
or dust.
Contact your Service Assistance Centre for any necessary controls of the ventila-
tion openings found on the back of the appliance.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (E) and its corresponding support (F) period-
ically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using mild soap. They can also
be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sudden
change in temperature would cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the bottom, you should nevertheless
take care to avoid water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D)
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requi-
res that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted muni-
cipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the envi-
ronment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation,
that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old applian-
ce.
