Practical information
Cleaning and maintenance
Ensure to disconnect the appliance from the power source.
• Clean the oven cavity after use with a slightly damp cloth.
• Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
• The door frame, door seal and adjacent parts should be
cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth when dirty.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or hard metal scrapers to
clean the glass on the microwave oven door. These could
scratch the surface and break the glass.
• Cleaning tips
To make it easier to clean the walls of the cavity with which
food may come into contact: Place half a lemon in a bowl,
add 300 ml of water and heat the microwave oven on full
power for 10 minutes. Clean the microwave oven by wiping it
with a soft, dry cloth.
