CHAPTER 4 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

4.1 CLEANING

Before any cleaning and maintenance are carried out, always disconnect the
plug from the power socket and wait for the appliance to cool down.
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special enamel to which spla-
shes and food particles do not stick, thus 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 utensils when
cleaning 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 appliance.
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based
detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
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.
Clean the air inlet holes placed on the back of the oven regularly, to avoid
them becoming blocked over the course of time by dust and dirt deposits.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its corresponding support (I)
periodically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be clea-
ned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using neutral soap. They can
also be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sud-
den change in temperature would cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water pene-
trating under the turntable spindle (D) when the bottom of the oven is being clea-
ned.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element
can be lowered by turning the ceramic hook.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, reposition and reattach the electrical element. The
oven must not be used with the element in the lowered positioned.
