Cleaning and care
Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn
can reduce the lifespan of the appliance and even result in dangerous
situations.
Therefore clean the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food.
•
Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the socket before
cleaning.
•
Keep the inside of the appliance clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled
liquids that attach to the walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning
solution can be used for serious dirt. Do not use sprays or other caustic
detergents as these could attack, scratch or dull the door surface.
•
The external areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to
prevent damage to the oven's internal operating parts, avoid allowing
water to penetrate into the ventilation openings.
•
Parts of the door, the viewing window, and especially the seal and the
closing mechanism should be cleaned carefully with a mild detergent
solution. Pay great attention to avoid damage to these parts.
•
The operating field may not become wet. Clean with a soft, damp
cloth. When cleaning the operating field leave the door open to
prevent the oven being switched on by accident.

If steam collects inside or on the external areas, wipe it away with a
soft cloth.

Steam may occur if the microwave is used with high humidity; this is
normal.
•
The glass rotating plate must be removed occasionally for cleaning.
Wash the plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the
dishwasher.
•
Then dry the rotating plate thoroughly with a soft cloth. After
removing the rotating plate from the floor opening for cleaning ensure
that it is replaced properly.
•
The roller ring and floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid the
formation of loud noises.
•
Simply wipe the oven floor with a mild cleaning solution. The roller
ring can be washed in mild foamy water or in the dishwasher.
•

water with the juice and rind of a lemon on a deep container that is
