CHAPTER 3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

3.1 CLEANING

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the plug
from the power socket and wait for the oven to cool down.
Always keep the microwave outlet covers (C) free from grease or splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool or sharp metal utensils to clean the outside of
the oven.
Do not allow water or liquid detergent to penetrate the air and steam outlet vents
on the top of the appliance.
Do not use alcohol, scouring powders, or ammonia-based detergents to clean
the inside or outside of the door.
Never steam clean the inside of the oven.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly. Make
sure that dirt and food residues do not build up between the door and the front
panel of the oven.
Clean the air vents at the rear of the oven regularly to prevent dust and dirt
from blocking them over time.
Remove the turntable (H) and its support ring (I) periodically to clean them. Also
clean the bottom of the oven under the turntable.
Wash the turntable and its support ring in soapy water using a neutral deter-
gent. Both the turntable and its support ring can be washed in a dishwasher.
Never plunge the hot turntable into cold water. The sudden change in tempe-
rature could cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed.
However, when cleaning the bottom of the oven, make sure the water does not
penetrate under the turntable spindle (D).
